GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Colorado State Police troopers ticketed a woman for careless driving after she rolled her car while her two cats were fighting in her lap.

The feline fracas broke out as the woman was driving along Interstate 70 and caused her to lose control of the vehicle, KKCO-TV in Grand Junction, Colo., reported Tuesday.

The swerving vehicle forced another car and a semi-truck off the road and sent the cat-loving driver to the hospital Monday with injuries police said were not life threatening.

As for the cats, they ran off, presumably in separate directions, and were still at large Tuesday.
