Police Dog Blamed for Pickup Hitting Woman
Police Dog Blamed For Pickup Hitting Woman
POSTED: 11:40 am CDT July 13, 2006
OGDEN, Utah -- The dog did it.
That's what police in Ogden said about how one of their pickup trucks got put in gear and ran over a woman.
Authorities said Ranger, a German shepherd, was left in the truck while an officer went to check on a domestic disturbance call. The engine was running to give the dog air conditioning.
But police believe Ranger hit the shift on the steering column. The truck rolled forward, running down Mary Stone as she went to her mailbox. It then plowed through Stone's yard, into a car in the driveway.
Stone is hospitalized with a fractured pelvis and tailbone. Her husband said she had tire marks on her clothes. He's fuming that he's heard nothing from police -- not even an apology.
Investigators are looking to see if the Ford had some sort of malfunction, since a driver is supposed to step on the brake to put it into drive.
