I found this thread on another site - this young cyclist was riding the 3 Mountain 3 State, and crashed very badly. If I understand it correctly, they think he may have lost control and hit a car head on. What struck me is the fellow who wrote the original post is himself recovering from a horrible accident.

Time to help another cyclist....
As most of you have heard there was a bad accident on the 3 MTN 3 State ride, unfortunatly, it seems very clost to the type I had....Let's help out the family:
"The Chattanooga Bicycle Club has set up a fund for Terry and his family. All received funds will go directly to Terry and his family. We are hoping that this can help get them over the day to day expenses that keep coming even when everyday life has paused for Terry and Shannon. Every little bit that we can do will help them over this trying time.
Please make the checks out to:
Chattanooga Bicycle Club Benefit Account (or CBC Benefit Account)
and send it to:
PO Box 11495
Chattanooga, TN 37401
You can indicate that it is for the Terry Trecartin fund but we will know that by it being made to the Benefit Account. Please do not send cash. This is just a way of helping a fellow cyclist and his family through their time of need.
Please keep Terry in your thoughts and prayers."
