A shocking road rage incident in Attleboro, Massachusetts, left a 31-year-old mother with serious injuries after a minor traffic accident. Hailea Soares, a mother of two, was driving on Friday morning when she rear-ended another vehicle that had braked suddenly. According to Soares, the driver, later identified as 26-year-old Gladior Kwesiah, had been erratically braking before the collision.
Following the fender bender, the situation escalated dramatically. Kwesiah allegedly exited his vehicle and physically assaulted Soares, culminating in him body-slamming her onto the pavement. Soares recounted attempting to document the damage to her car when Kwesiah grabbed her phone. The violent attack left her with a broken knee, a broken foot, an injured eye socket, and a significant head wound, requiring treatment at Sturdy Memorial Hospital.
Attleboro Police swiftly apprehended Kwesiah at the scene. He faces charges including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious injury, malicious destruction of property, and driving without a license. He is currently held on $25,000 bail. Attleboro police Sgt. Kevin Sellers condemned the incident, highlighting the disproportionate response to a minor traffic collision.
Soares expressed relief at surviving the ordeal and questioned Kwesiah's suitability for society given his violent behavior. A GoFundMe campaign has been established to assist with Soares' medical expenses, raising nearly $29,000 as of Tuesday afternoon.
