A woman’s car was damaged after being repeatedly rammed by another vehicle on the Hutt Highway.
A trip down the Hutt Highway on a rainy Monday afternoon turned into a ordeal for an autistic woman after she was repeatedly rammed by another vehicle.
The incident between Melling and Petone, near Wellington, left the woman, who did not want to be named, with PTSD-like symptoms, a concussion, whiplash, bruising and hundreds of dollars in outlay.
Police investigating the incident say investigations are ongoing and are asking anyone with information to contact the police.
She said the vehicle’s passengers, four men, all laughed during the incident, in which she was hit four times, leaving her feeling like she was “going to die.”

Driving in the fast lane after passing another vehicle, he first saw the car, a blue SUV, in his rearview mirror. She says the vehicle “came out of nowhere.”
“There was no one there and all of a sudden a huge truck appeared, literally so close to me that I couldn’t see its bumper. I slowed down, so I could signal and get into that other lane, so they could pass me. “
The SUV then accelerated and “rammed it.”
“I was not prepared at all, I suffered a whiplash and a concussion and my chest slammed into the steering wheel and I had bruises on my chest. I yelled to myself in the car ‘what the hell was that?’ “
After the first impact, he thought it was a mistake.

The blue truck the woman says is responsible for the incident.
“I thought maybe they did it accidentally. When the second hit came, I knew it was his intention and that’s when I got really scared.
By fourth contact, the woman had taken her foot off the gas and was being pushed down the highway.
“I was holding on to the wheel to save my life. Because it was raining heavily, I was afraid my car would be pushed against the side rail and then roll over or overturn. “
The SUV then accelerated.
Being autistic, the woman says that she already has to focus a lot while driving, which she is now too afraid to do.
“Sensory information, noises, everything around me is so overwhelming for me, I have to focus really, really hard to make sure I’m doing everything right.
“The shock is starting to wear off and I’m starting to think more clearly and I’m still thinking that they might have killed me and that really scares me.”
She described the incident as something “out of a movie.”
Your excess insurance will cost $ 600 to repair the damage.
