The Terms member remains in critical condition

The Terms bass guitarist Brandon Young remains in critical condition at St. Francis Medical Center in Monroe following a wreck that occurred as the group was traveling to a performance in Monroe.

Cpl. Jeff Pilcher, of the Monroe Police Department, said a maroon 1997 Ford Escort driven by Houston Cale, 18, of Monroe, was distracted by his cell phone and ran a stop sign that struck the silver 1999 Toyota Four-Runner SUV driven by Blake Oliver.

The SUV then slid into a telephone pole, ejecting Clyde Hargrove from the passenger window and causing Young to go through the back windshield, hitting his head on the telephone pole.

According to a news release, Hargrove was transported to St. Francis North Medical Center in Monroe with a broken pelvic bone and bruising in the mid section. Oliver was taken to St. Francis Medical Center with a broken vertebrae in his neck.

Fans have reacted strongly to the news, posting comments, prayers and best wishes on the band's Myspace site. The Terms were scheduled to perform at the Music City Texas Theater in Linden, Tx., on Saturday along with Richard Bowden and Moon & the Starz. Popular area band Chasing Rita will perform in place of The Terms.
