A van transporting 25 dogs from Texas overturned on U.S. 23 Friday morning; while none of those dogs were injured, the driver’s own dog died in the crash.
At about 6:55 am, a deputy from the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to northbound US-23 just south of M-59 for a single vehicle roll over.
Witnesses told police that the white van from Texas drifted off the road to the right, over corrected to the left, and then overturned. The van, en route to the Midland County Humane Society, was transporting approximately 25 dogs from Texas. The dogs being transported for adoption were not injured; however, the driver’s personal dog was ejected from the vehicle and died on scene.
The 32-year-old Texas woman driving the van was wearing her seat belt and was not injured.
The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Hartland Fire Authority and the Livingston County EMS. Midland County Humane Society picked up the dogs from the scene.
