Olga Reswow in auto accident

BJ Alums got this email from Debbie Van Tassel, former BJ department head who went to the PD.
John,

You might get something onto the blog about Olga's accident. Here is what I know from a colleague:

Beacon staffer Olga Reswow was badly injured in an accident.

It happened Friday night on I-76 at the Kenmore leg. She suffered a crushed pelvis and ankle and has had surgery for both. She is likely to be in a wheelchair for weeks. She's in room 208 at Akron City Hospital, but is in intensive care and no visitors other than family are allowed at the moment.

The 25-year-old woman who hit her has been charged with DUI.

In 2010 Olga missed about seven weeks with a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage.

Olga, who has been at the BJ for 26 years, has been a BJ copy desk fixture. She also served as the BJ's unofficial Russian translator when reporters were talking to someone who spoke Russian better than they spoke English.
