Olga calls from Intensive Care


Olga Reswow called from Intensive Care at Akron City Hospital this afternoon and sends her love to all. She was just taken off the ventilator today.  Her car was rear-ended by an intoxicated woman driver, going 80 to 90 miles per hour,  who rammed into the rear end of Olga's car  on I-76 at the Kenmore leg. 

Olga 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 still 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. The car, which was totaled, did not have air bags.  Olga suffered a broken leg in three places and a severe hip injury.

Ironically, one of the last stories she edited was one by Rick Armon about a former Barberton man serving a 16-year sentence in prison for drunken-driving conviction who is trying to change his life and reputation.
