The woman involved in the fatal crash in Randolph, officially died late last night. 26 year old Elizabeth Calderara of Cannon Falls was an organ donor. Her mother, Suzanne Brantly posted on Facebook today that “her heart is still beating and she is still on a ventilator in order to keep her heart and organs alive until the surgeons of the organ recipients are able to arrive. Because her brain stopped before her heart, she will be able to gift her whole heart to someone in need instead of just her heart valves. Most likely it will be later this evening when that happens”. Also killed in the crash were Elizabeth’s husband, 31 year old Jason, 1 year old daughter Melody and her 35 week old male fetus, Hawk. Jason’s son, 9 year old Nicholas of Willmar, has been upgraded to fair condition. Link to yesterday’s full story
