Funeral for Victoria officer who spent 30 years mostly unresponsive after crash
VICTORIA — A Victoria police officer who lay in an unresponsive state for 30 years after an on-duty collision is finally at peace, a funeral service heard Thursday.
Const. Ian Jordan was injured in a crash with another police cruiser as both officers raced towards the same emergency call in September 1987.
The accident left him unresponsive, unable to walk or speak and confined to a hospital room, but his life story is one of enduring love and unbreakable bonds, Rev. Andrew Gates told mourners.
Jordan died on April 11 after suffering complications from a lung infection. He was 66 years old.
