Just a suggestion, but "ahead" is one word in Brit. Eng. usually. Except in horror writing.

v
travel across or pass over
As in:
"As I drive into my driveway, suddenly a cat cuts through ahead
of my car. I try to avoid him and my car stalls/stops/breaks down." or "and my car collides with the animal".

Shouldn't that be ahead ?

stall is almost certainly the wrong word here.

Actually, I think the OP means that his car hits something. Swerving doesn't usually make a car stall, but it can easily make it bump into something.
