The story of CHP Officer Tony Pedeferri's traumatic injuries when he was struck by an intoxicated driver while on duty and his dramatic recovery have garnered tremendous public attention.

We have written numerous articles about Pedeferri, but like any story, this one has far more details than we could fit into any one piece.

When I was writing a story in July about Officer Pedeferri's return home, I discovered an online journal that he and his family were keeping.

Written largely by Pedeferri's brother, with entries from Officer Pedeferri as he became stronger, the journal offers a very detailed, personal look into the family's long ordeal.

Have a look:
