Llewellyn and Sue-ann Venter: Rolleston couple recounts escape from car that crashed into their bedroom while they slept

A Canterbury couple believe it's a pure miracle they walked away without serious injury after a car smashed into their bedroom as they slept.  Emergency services were called to Rolleston's Shillingford Boulevard around 3:40 early Saturday morning.  The vehicle trapped Llewellyn Venter under a doorframe and pinned his wife Sue-ann under the wheel.    He says the curtain saved their lives by shielding them from the debris.  The pair sustained just cuts and bruises, while the driver was moderately injured.  Llewellyn told Matt Heath and Tyler Adams there was an immense sound like a roll of thunder and a massive bang, before everything was just on top of them.  “It was bricks and windows and everything, and, so then I started screaming and just digging myself out.”   Sue-ann didn’t answer the first two times he called for her, but he spotted her legs sticking out from under the car that crashed into their bedroom.  “Somehow I managed to push the car, or lift the car, out of the way, well, just, and grab my wife and just pull her out.”  “It was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.”   Suu-ann told Matt and Tyler that she’d never heard her husband scream like that before.  “I didn’t know what was going on, because you couldn’t see anything.”  “I really thought I was gonna die.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
