Wednesday crash victim identified by coroner, organ donation made by Olson family

The person who died in a motor vehicle crash Wednesday morning on Colorado Highway 82 near Glenwood Springs has been identified as Diane Olson, 57, of Glenwood. Garfield County Coroner Rob Glassmire said late Friday that Olson died from several blunt force injuries sustained in the rear-end crash at the CMC intersection on 82, six miles south of Glenwood Springs. She was declared brain dead later that day, Glassmire said. “Following the brain death declaration, Mrs. Olson’s family worked with Donor Alliance to proceed with organ donation,” Glassmire said in a news release. That process took place on Friday. “Mrs. Olson’s donation of vital organs undoubtedly saved several other lives,” Glassmire said.

Patience asked of residents as Garfield County high-risk healthcare workers, elderly continue to receive vaccinations

People classified in those categories include high- and moderate-risk frontline medical workers and first responders, as well as people like pharmacists, dentists and various frontline essential workers.
