Vermont families turn grief into action with Ride for Olivia Miles
Two families forever changed by impaired driving are coming together to take action. The family of Elana Korey, a 20-year-old college student killed on July 28, 2024, has been invited to join the May 31 Ride for Olivia Miles, a remembrance and awareness event honoring 6-year-old Olivia, who was also tragically killed by an impaired driver, according to a community announcement. The weekend of Elana's death, she had been an invited guest of the impaired driver's family at their private home in Stowe. Hours later, she lost her life when the driver, Sean Delaney, was highly intoxicated and speeding at 110 mph, resulting in a single-car crash on Interstate 89 northbound, approximately 2.5 miles from Exit 10, according to Vermont State Police. Due to the severity of the crash, it took nearly two weeks for Elana to be identified and brought home. This year, the Ride for Olivia Miles will include Elana's crash site as part of its memorial route, symbolizing a shared commitment to stop the silence, negligence and normalization of impaired driving. The ride brings together communities, victims' families and advocates for stronger public awareness and safer choices behind the wheel. In tandem with the ride, the Korey family is launching Project 802, a nationwide initiative under the Ollie's Angels Foundation. Named after Vermont's only area code, Project 802 seeks to educate, empower and prevent tragedies like these by encouraging young people to 'Catch a Safe Ride,' intervene when a friend is at risk and hold each other accountable before lives are lost. 'This isn't just about Vermont. Reckless and impaired driving is killing people across the country — and no family should have to endure what we are living through; it is a nightmare we cannot wake from,' said Elana's mother, Alice Korey. 'We're honored to join the Miles family in remembrance and in action.' The Ride for Olivia Miles will take place on Saturday, May 31, and is open to riders, families and advocates across Vermont for either the ride or a fundraiser remembrance at Arrowhead Golf Course in Milton following the ride. All proceeds support awareness campaigns and educational outreach with Mothers Against Drunk Driving. 'Elana didn't die in an accident — she died because others made a series of reckless choices,' Alice Korey said. 'She trusted the wrong people, and it cost her everything. We stand with the Miles family because this has to stop.'
