The Republican who's been serving in the House of Representatives since 2015 said he had no time to react to the animals, both of which were killed in the collision.

Dent's car was totaled but he did not suffer any significant injuries in the accident.

In a post on social media, Dent credited the car, which he claimed to purchase because of its high safety ratings, for saving his life.
