ROCKLAND — At approximately 7:30 Thanksgiving night, Lisa Carlton, of Rockland, was driving north on Front Street in Rockland when a dog ran across her path. As she swerved to avoid hitting it, she heard a loud noise from the front end of her sedan just before she lost control it.

Carlton hit the curb and then slid across the property of Prock Marine. After sliding several yards, the car came to rest at the peak of the hill. If the car had not stopped there, it would have continued down the banking to Journey's End Marina. The airbags deployed but Carlton was uninjured.

There were no passengers in the vehicle. 

The car was considered a total loss, with much damage to its underbody. The car was removed by Shorty's Towing to its garage.
