The driver of a passenger car dodged a cat and the vehicle crashed into a line of nursery school children in the city of Shizuoka on Thursday afternoon, injuring 36 children and an adult looking after them, police said.
Five of them were injured seriously in the accident which occurred on a road with one lane on each side at around 1:10 p.m., firefighters said. The children are aged 4 or 5, and the adult is 23. The police arrested the driver, Akira Yano, 59, on suspicion of inflicting injuries caused by negligence.
This is why I've always had the policy, and tried to convince every squeamish animal loving girlfriend I've ever had to do the same, of never swerving to avoid an animal that runs out in front of me. I'll slow down, but I'm not taking drastic action. Fortunately I've only ever hit one animal, a possum.

I have the same policy. So far I've hit and killed a small dog. It sucks, but I don't have any regrets.
I remember one time my Mom swerving to miss a frog or something on a narrow mountain road with both my Dad and myself in the car. Personally I would run over a cardboard box full of frogs before I did something like that.

I once ran over the back legs of a squirrel. I saw him in my rear window dragging himself by his front legs up over the curb. I was traumatized.
