A former police officer who survived a catastrophic crash during a cannabis raid has secured a $2.3 million court victory after a 15-year legal battle that followed the loss of her career and arm.
Jillian Oliver had spent years in general duties policing before the life-changing incident in 2010 during an operation in Dingo Tops National Park.
Speaking on A Current Affair on Thursday night, she described how deeply she valued the job until tragedy struck.
“I just love being part of policing, being in the community. I loved being in general duties that you just didn’t know what was going to happen each day but you’ll be able to help somebody. It was great,” Ms Oliver told the program.
