It was a family vacation, and the Olsens had just been celebrating Easter. Jeff Olsen was driving home to Bountiful, Utah after visiting relatives; his wife Tamara was asleep in the passenger’s seat, still holding his hand, their 14-month-old Griffin was asleep in the car seat, and their 7-year-old son Spencer was awake in the backseat, playing with his toys.
Olsen felt his eyes grow heavy, and blinked. In an instant, his life upended: the car rolled over, gravel flew as they spun, he heard Spencer crying hysterically, felt horrific pain, and then he blacked out.
