I came upon a yellow hound dog on a two lane Arkansas highway. Both of us were west bound, and he was in the middle of my lane. When I saw him I was right on top of him.
I slammed on the brakes and tried to swerve to avoid the dog. I hit the dog anyway, went off the road and slid sideways on the embankment at 55 mph. The heavily loaded car (only 1 passenger, me, but I was moving across the country...) rolled 1.5 times and came to rest on the driver's side. There was not a single piece of glass left on the car, and every body panel was crunched. I sustained a scratched forearm. And I will drive Saab 900's as long as I can keep them on the road.
Next time, I will brake hard and steer straight to keep the car under control.
