Terry Hutchens, longtime local sportswriter in the central Indiana area, was critically injured in a Monday night crash on 116th Street near Interstate 69 in Fishers.
Fishers Police cited witness statements and evidence at the scene, saying the driver of the Toyota was traveling westbound on 116th Street when he apparently rear-ended a Ford Escape. The force of the initial collision pushed the Ford into the rear of a Jeep.
During the follow-up investigation, hospital medical staff told authorities Hutchens may have suffered a sudden medical condition prior to the crash.
Hutchens was unconscious and not breathing when officers arrived. The officers removed Hutchens from his vehicle and immediately began CPR. Paramedics from the Fishers Department of Fire and Emergency Response transported him to an area hospital in critical condition.
The other two drivers and a passenger in the Ford suffered only minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
