Pulled into our hotel tonight & saw this crap. It has a casino attached & the owner left their dog out in severe storms while they gambled. Reported it to security & they took care of things. Some people are just trash. Do NOT be this person.

I'm glad you're OK. But this is on you. Driving WAY too fast for the poor visibility, slick roads. You only reacted at the very last second because you were clearly not paying attention. Classic distracted driving. Your job is to be in control of your vehicle at all times.
