In a harrowing incident from 1997, a man named Jeffrey Olsen recounted his near-death experience following a severe car accident. He was driving with his family when he lost control of the vehicle, resulting in a rollover crash.
Jeffrey described losing consciousness during the accident but was fully aware when the car came to a stop. He immediately noticed his seven-year-old son crying out in pain but was met with silence from his wife and their 14-month-old son.
It became devastatingly clear to Jeffrey that his wife and youngest son had not survived the crash. Meanwhile, he was also in a critical condition, sustaining life-altering injuries.
In a video shared on the NDE Journey’s YouTube channel, Jeffrey recounted the events of that day, including the immediate aftermath of the crash.
He described the confusion and helplessness he felt as he was unable to reach his injured son, though he had a sense that his son would survive his injuries.
Jeffrey continued to explain how he was aware of his wife and youngest son’s fate at the scene. Despite the grim reality, he recounted a moment where he felt enveloped by a comforting light.
“I felt light come and surround me,” Jeffrey recalled, describing it as a tangible and comforting presence that seemed to lift him above the accident scene.
Despite the odd sensation of being alive and pain-free, he realized that his spirit seemed to have left his body.
In this ethereal experience, Jeffrey saw his late wife, who appeared unharmed. She communicated to him that he needed to return to life.
Jeffrey shared that they discussed their surviving son, emphasizing that if he stayed, their son would be left without parents.
Ultimately, Jeffrey made the profound choice to return, awakening later in a hospital. His recovery was arduous, involving six months of hospitalization and 18 surgeries, including the loss of his left leg.
