Police say a woman lost control of her sport-utility vehicle, drove along a sidewalk and crashed yesterday morning.
The cause? Her small dog got tangled up in the steering wheel, according to investigators.
The Press Enterprise reports the accident happened in front of a McDonald's restaurant in Berwick, Pa. -- about 120 miles northwest of Philadelphia -- around 11 a.m. Monday.
The crash knocked out power to much of the street.
The driver, 35-year-old Elizabeth Tomlinson, wasn't wearing a seatbelt and suffered a cut to her lip, but was otherwise unhurt.
Investigators say the crash happened after the dog, a Cockapoo, somehow got caught in the steering wheel and Tomlinson lost control.
Police say the dog jumped out of the vehicle and disappeared after the crash.
