Kaylie Smith, 16, is recovering in Ottawa after an attack in Cobalt, Ont., between North Bay and Timmins.
"It's just like a big blur. It doesn't seem real," says the mother of 16-year-old Kaylie Smith. The family of a 16-year-old from a small northern Ontario community, who was seriously injured when her ex-boyfriend allegedly hit her with his vehicle and then attacked her with a sword, say the past week has been a "big blur.""It's just like a big blur. It doesn't seem real," said Cindy Smith, Kaylie's mother.
Smith's ex-boyfriend, Phillipe Gagnon, was arrested within an hour of the attack and remains in custody. He faces several charges, including attempted murder and aggravated assault.Smith's family has been in Ottawa by her side in hospital since she was airlifted to the city. "It's just been a blur," Paige said. "When everything happened, we kind of dropped everything and headed down, worried about the consequences afterwards. You don't really think about yourself in these moments. It's just auto-pilot — doing what needs to be done."
