LA CROSSE, Wisc. — A Wisconsin boy is alive today thanks to his quick-thinking friend.
Freshman WIll Olson was eating lunch with his friends this week when he started to choke on a piece of food. His classmate Ian Brown immediately knew something was wrong and jumped to his feet and began using the Heimlich maneuver.
After a few thrusts, the food became dislodged and Olson began to breathe again.
