The dog is in safe hands at a persons home. I read the post earlier.
Good to know. Thank God for small blessings
I hope the pickup driver will be fine. Sounds like he got banged up pretty bad. Another slow response from REACH AIR that might have been working another scene. Thank you to the CHP and other first responders.
