Chihuahua causes truck to crash into pole, Oklahoma cops say. Here’s how it happened
Police say a chihuahua is to blame for a truck crash early Thursday, May 9, in Oklahoma.
The dog had jumped onto the driver’s lap, which caused him to ram into a power pole around 1:30 a.m., Tulsa police said in a May 9 Facebook post.
Despite feeling chest pains himself, the driver told police he was concerned about his dog.
Police found the unresponsive pup with a laceration on its head in the pickup’s floorboard. Paramedics started treatment as other first responders attended to the driver.
“With a little love from the officers, the Chihuahua began moving,” police said in the Facebook post.
Both the driver and the dog were taken to a hospital but are expected to make a full recovery, police said.
