Kutson told Global News that they were on the way to Chestermere for his son’s hockey game when they hit white conditions. Then, suddenly, she saw braking lights. “I slowed down, I pumped my brakes. I didn’t want to hit the car in front of me.
She added: “I moved so that I did not get them back, then a car behind me hit me and I hit the guard rail. And then another vehicle hit my other side of my vehicle, then pushed me further. I think we were struck four times more after that.
Knutson’s vehicle – A Nissan Armada – has undergone major damage at the front and rear.
“I think my vehicle will be struck off,” she said.
