A Balclutha woman experienced a frightening end to 2009 when her car collided with a cow on Kaka Point Rd at 11.20pm on New Year's Eve.
The woman was driving to Kaka Point when two cows wandered on to the road and her car collided with one of the animals.
The woman was not injured, and was released after being examined at the scene by the attending ambulance staff.
The impact caused extensive damage to the car and killed the cow, which was thrown into the long grass on the side of the road.
Balclutha police detective Sergeant Kate Bartlett said the farmer would be spoken to in relation to stock control.
