ROCKLAND – A Spruce Head woman driving her car in Harbor Plaza on Wednesday lost control of the vehicle when one of her three dogs leaped into her lap.

Donna Hurley, 48, did not require medical transport after the crash into a parking lot light pole, but her 1996 Lexus sedan had $2,000 in damage, police Officer Jim Jillson said Thursday.

Hurley was in the parking lot near Staples office supply when one of three dogs that were inside the vehicle jumped into her lap, Jillson said.

There were no injuries and no charges from the 5:28 p.m. accident, which was investigated by Officer William Smith.
