    One day our cars will drive us everywhere, and auto accidents will be rare. The truck I have now does some of the functions for me! It’s amazing, from the first vehicle I had a 1978 Ford.

    I’m assuming the “Adult female” is the child’s mother. I pray she makes it through!

    This was my daughter and grandbaby in the car. For those that posted well wishes I thank you. For the others that only comment on negative..go check yourself. She was upside down in the car…stuck because the seatbelt locked. Until a angel by the name Donna.. who stopped and did not hesitate and broke a window and crawled in the vehicle and got my granddaughter out of the car. She risked her own safety for a stranger and I can’t thank her enough. My daughter and grandbaby are doing good no permanent damage.

    Bless that girl’s heart! She’s just a good person who cared about someone else’s dog not having time to think about it and all hell broke loose. I feel for her. Glad the dog and the child especially are ok. Hope she is too!

    I taught my kids to never ever swerve or snatch a vehicle just to miss an animal (smaller than a horse or cow). Good grief it’s just an animal! Not worth crashing into another car or flipping a vehicle.

    I saw the aftermath of this accident. I hope she will be okay. Very happy the child was okay. I was worried when I saw the car seat on the ground.

    Good job on having that child properly restrained.
    I’ve swerved to avoid many obstacles in the road and Never flipped a vehicle.
    I’m sure FHP will figure it out. That’s what they do.

    She wasn’t speeding. Swerved to miss a dog. But thanks for being sympathetic.

    Speed is a problem there basically because most of the people turn off Muskogee onto Jacks Branch, and they don’t slow down and if it’s raining then water runs from east to west across the road, or drivers frequently are just going too fast on that curve. But prayers, not blame, for both of them and thanks they are both going to be okay.

    To many people speeding on this road, they act like it’s their own personal racetrack…Hopefully, the driver will be okay and praise the lord the child wasn’t harmed…. Y’all please slow down out there, be safe and pay attention. Please, please, please!!!!

    I live close to this accident. Was outside having coffee, when I heard a loud crash. Soon the help was there, and the helicopter circled. At first I thought they would land in my yard, but they found a place closer.

    That’s why it’s known as dead mans curve . People constantly fly around that curve.

    Thank God the child was safe, I pray the woman will be alright.
