Tristan Heath of Cody was taking his family’s dogs to a veterinarian in Powell when, around 6:45 a.m., a deer ran in front of his Chevrolet SUV.
“I swerved to keep from hitting the deer,” he said. “I missed the deer, but I paid the price.”
Heath lost control of the vehicle, which left the right side of the highway and rolled.

Heath called his parents. His mother took the dogs the rest of the way to the vet while his father waited with him at the accident scene.
“It was pretty scary,” Heath said. “I’m just glad I’m OK and the dogs are OK.”
