Edmonton Family Is Lucky To Be Alive After Serious Crash Near Carstairs Alta.

Glainy Massengo-Kilolo was driving with his wife and three sons to attend a party at his sister’s house in Calgary on August 27.
Near Carstairs, Alta., around 4 p.m., he says he noticed a driver in a white truck speed up from behind.
“He was driving so fast. I didn’t mind because I was driving in my lane,” he told CTV News on Tuesday, adding that he was also going the speed limit.
Instead of just passing, Massengo-Kilolo says the truck driver pulled in front of him suddenly and hit the brakes.
“It happened so fast – just a second. He was behind me and suddenly came in front of me,” he said.
“When I saw it, I hit the brakes and then tried to switch lanes.”
Massengo-Kilolo says he did so to avoid hitting the truck, but ended up losing control of his vehicle in the process.
“The car just shook, I lost control and rolled I don’t know how many times. We ended up in the ditch in the middle of both freeways.”
However, just before that happened, he says he caught a glimpse of the other driver speeding away.
As a result of the crash, Massengo-Kilolo and his wife, along with two of their sons, were taken by ground ambulance to different hospitals.
The most seriously injured was Massengo-Kilolo’s four-year-old son, who was thrown from the vehicle as it rolled.
He remembers getting out of the car and going to the other drivers who had stopped to help.
“When I got closer, I saw my son lying on the ground, bleeding. He was looking at me, but he was quiet.”
Massengo-Kilolo says no one suffered any broken bones and his four-year-old son only suffered a few deep cuts to his head.  The hospital ran tests, but he says his son was fine.
The incident completely destroyed his car, but he says he’s lucky no one in his family was killed.
He wants to share a message with other drivers after his test.
“When they drive, they should be patient,” he said.
“If you want to get where you want to go faster, just know that you’re not driving alone. Even when carrying passengers, always be aware of others.”
Massengo-Kilolo says he is in contact with the RCMP regarding the investigation, which is still ongoing.
Anyone with information about the incident, including the identity of the driver of the white truck, is being asked to come forward.
Meanwhile, Massengo-Kilolo’s sister has started a GoFundMe campaign to help the family with any expenses related to the crash.
