He let go of the steering wheel, and the car ended up hitting a tree. He was in a coma for three days. Dennis, an animal lover who cared for many dogs and cats, was relieved to learn her German Shepherd was not injured in the accident.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fd-xAQAAQBAJ&q=sandy+dennis+eric+roberts+accident&pg=PA1981|title=Sandy Dennis: The Life and Films|date=November 8, 2013|first=Peter|last=Shelley|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9781476605890}} Roberts recovered and his live-in relationship with Dennis lasted a few more years.
