As a Woodbury police officer, Allan Olson has seen how dangerous and deadly impaired drivers can be on the road. This past August, it became terrifyingly personal when an impaired driver struck him and his son during a family trip up north. Allan was riding with his son, Jacob, on their ATV when a fun summer vacation turned into months of recovery from serious injuries.
The Olsons sat down with us recently, talking about their struggles and their recovery journey as a family. They hope their story of moving from this terrifying crash back to normal will help raise awareness about the costs of impaired driving.
