Victoria police officer dies 30 years after car accident put him in a coma
Victoria police Const. Ian Jordan died in hospital Wednesday after spending 30 years in a coma caused by his cruiser crashing into another police vehicle racing towards same call.
Retired Sgt. Ole Jorgensen vividly remembers the crash that sent his friend and colleague into a coma.
He was responding to a business alarm when Jordan’s vehicle crossed the intersection in front of him.
“I had my foot on the brake so hard and in my head I can distinctly remember I was saying, ‘Get out of the way Ian.’ But it was too late, it was a split second before I hit him that I realized he was there,” Jorgensen said.
