She swerved to miss the object in the road. Thank god, I did not go in the ditch... Shit! Mary hit a patch of ice and the car spun out of control. The economy car hit the snow in the ditch at just the wrong angle and landed on the passenger door. Mary, who was not buckled up, banged her head on the steering wheel and roof. Glass embedded itself in her flesh and she was on the wrong side of the car. Her last thought before passing out was of the mass in the road shaped like an animal.
She awoke in the hospital, the nurses told her that her car was totaled and she was lucky to be alive. The dog that had been in the road was alive as well, but they had not been able to find its owners. Mary, left the hospital a few days later and went directly to the pound. She adopted the animal that had been the cause of her accident and they kept each other company for several happy years. And she never drove without a seat belt on icy roads again.
