What’s sad is the last article I could find he wrote. Within the last week. Since I was a teenager he is who I remember mostly as a writer of IU. There have been others but he has been around over 20 years now.

When Terry was at the Indy Star, he was my go-to guy for IU updates. Hoping there will be good news on this front. 

I'm no doctor or police officer, but from the article posted, it almost sounded as if he might have had a medical issue before the accident. Whatever the case, will be thinking of and praying for him and his family. I hope he's back covering the Hoosiers soon.

Terry is a gracious man.  In the summer of 2015 when I was trying to expand my portfolio for the writing & editing profession, Terry welcomed me as a soccer content contributor for this site.  He met me for lunch (which he insisted on paying for), we talked about how he envisioned the role and content ideas, and shortly after he showed me the ropes as we attended an iums practice.  Essentially with his endorsement, I got the opportunity to interview Coach Yeagley and a few players, a first for me.  When I moved on, he told me not to hesitate in using him as a reference (I didn't even ask), which I did for an editorial job later that year and got it.  Terry didn't have to do any of that.  I was incredibly grateful, and certainly still am, that a prolific five-time Indiana sportswriter of the year would be so generous to me.

Wishing the smoothest recovery for Terry and his family.

Wishing him the best. When talking to him on here whether on the forums or in the staff section he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever talked to. Pull through it and get back to doing what you love good sir!

Yeah, that article doesn't sound good.  I played golf with him once at an Indianapolis Children;s Bureau outing.   Met him several other times and he actually pinged me here and on Twitter several times just to gab.  This sucks. A nice man; and I'm praying for him.

[Crimson and Cream]

Wow, prayers to Terry and his family

Yeah man. He had every right to come in with an ego and he never did with us behind the scenes. As busy as he was he would try and engage people because we asked him to. He didn’t need us. Could have told us to piss off. He didn’t. He loved writing and discussing IU athletics. He really is a normal dude that loves all things IU.

Very sad to hear.  I only know him from him working with us on this site but was always gracious with us both on the main board and mod board. Almost to the point where I thought it was strange (for lack of a better term) he even dealt with us...I soon just realized he was a genuine, good man who was passionate about his career, Indiana sports, and his family. Thoughts are with his family...

Mortality stinks!  Get well soon Terry

Silver lining....if he is in critical condition, that means they got his heart to start again with the CPR.  Be strong Terry.  We're all pulling for you

That's basically what his wife posted on Facebook. Sounds like he had a medical condition that caused him to pass out which led to the accident.

Interestingly when I told someone in my family who is a doctor what happened they said there was no way he could of passed out from an accident at that speed and he thought he had some medical condition before the crash.

Good call by you and an expert medical professional who knew nothing about the accident other than what was read in the newspaper.   

Really Hoping Terry recovers and wish him and his family the best.

Star just posted an article and mentions seizure potentially.

Sad situation.

Reading the article makes me wonder if he didnt have a medical issue (heart attack?) which led to the accident. Prayers.
