It conflicted the previous statement from the dog owner, who insisted the dogs were on leashes.
The representative claimed that Charvet 'slowed his vehicle and moved to the side to pass safely. As he did so, one of the dogs moved under the vehicle.'
He then 'immediately stopped, called 911, and remained at the scene until authorities arrived. He fully cooperated with the investigation and made himself available for any further help.'
The Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Department said in a statement: 'It sounds like it was accidental and that the dogs were off leash and ran into the roadway' adding that '[Charvet] tried to swerve to avoid hitting them.'

Charvet has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing, law enforcement sources previously told TMZ.
Charvet's female neighbor accused him of fatally striking her dog with his truck before taking off, with authorities confirming they have responded to an incident about a vehicle 'accidentally' hitting a canine.
Vera Errico claimed Charvet struck her 11-year-old dog early Thursday morning of last week as she walked him on a leash through a gated Malibu community, according to TMZ.
The dog was rushed to the vet where he was sadly euthanized.
Errico claimed she was walking Sunday, her English Labrador, along with two other of her dogs on their leashes just before 6AM when Charvet drove by in his pick-up truck.

She claimed that he allegedly struck Sunday and drove out of the community without stopping.
While Errico believes Charvet only called police after driving out of the community, a law enforcement source has since told the site they do not perceive the incident to be a hit-and-run as authorities were contacted by Charvet, regardless of whether or not he remained on the scene.
The Sheriff's Information Bureau has since confirmed to The Daily Mail that deputies responded to an incident about a car accidentally hitting a dog.
'On April 16, 2026, at approximately 0600 hours, deputies from Malibu/Lost Hills Station responded to a traffic-related incident in the City of Malibu involving a vehicle that accidentally struck a dog,' the statement said.
'Upon arrival, deputies conducted their investigation. The dog's owner transported the animal for medical treatment; however, deputies were later informed that the dog succumbed to its injuries.'
The statement adds that a traffic report was also being prepared.
