Three members of the perennial Little 500 team favorite Cutters were involved in an accident with a car on Ind. 446 on Wednesday.
Eric Brodell, who was hit head-on, and Eric Young both flipped over the car, and Michael Schroeder hit the vehicle's side, fourth rider Thomas Walsh said.
Walsh was not hit by the car and was not injured during the accident.
Walsh said Young and Schroeder are in stable condition, but Brodell remains in critical condition.
Senior Zach Lusk, a Cutters rider who received word of the accident from Schroeder, said Young was having glass removed from his arm, Schroeder developed a swollen ankle and Brodell will undergo surgery at
Bloomington Hospital to stitch a deep laceration in his left leg.
Lusk said the accident took place en route to Lake Monroe "a little bit south of The Fishin' Shedd."
Lusk said there is a small marina and the little gas station is called The Fishin' Shedd. He added that the ride was not unfamiliar to his teammates.
"It's a very typical ride that I know a lot of teams do," he said. "It was just kind of a freak accident, people not paying attention to the weather conditions driving-wise."
Lusk said the team has a lot to look at.
"Roughly, we've got four healthy guys and four guys that were in the accident that will probably sit out the vast majority of first semester," he said.
