Wife Of Former PM Crashes Car To Save Her Dog
Geills Turner Lost Control Of Minivan While Trying To Grab Dog
KENORA, Ont., 8:33 a.m. EDT July 27, 2001 -- When the wife of a former prime minister had to choose between saving her dog or her car, she chose the dog.

"(The dog) was about to die," Geills Turner, John's Turner's wife, said Thursday. "I had to save his life."

Turner, 63, was charged with careless driving after her minivan collided with a lamp post Wednesday.

"She attempted to grab her dog and lost control of her vehicle," said police Sgt. Bob Tait.

Turner said her dog's head got caught in the window of the minivan. It was not clear how the dog managed to get stuck.

Neither the dog, nor Turner, was injured in the crash.

The Turners have a home near the northern Ontario city of Kenora.

Damage to the front end of her vehicle is estimated between $3,500 and $5,000.

John Turner became prime minister in June 1984 after Pierre Trudeau resigned. He lost his position to Brian Mulroney three months later.
