Dog Named T-Bone Injured in 3-Car Pile-Up on Bryant

SAN ANGELO, TX — The San Angelo Fire Department EMS treated a dog at the scene of a three-car pile-up on S. Bryant this afternoon.

According to San Angelo Police Traffic Investigator Officer Bradshaw, a Chrysler 200 was southbound on Bryant, entered the left turn lane to turn east on Ave. Q.

Ave. Q is the east side extension of Knickerbocker Rd. to the west.

According to what witnesses told the police, the Chrysler had a green light but no protected arrow for the turn. The Chrysler driver proceeded across the northbound lanes of Bryant in the left turn anyway.

There was not enough time for the driver of a Nissan Versa traveling northbound on Bryant to avoid hitting the Chrysler. The collision sent the Nissan spinning and it collided with a Mercury Cougar.

The dog, whose name was “T-Bone,” is believed to have been riding shotgun in the Versa. T-Bone suffered a cut lip and a cut near his left eye. What T-Bone really wanted, however, was water. The crash had shaken him up a little.

San Angelo paramedics rushed to the scene and treated T-Bone, in addition to a passenger of the Chrysler 200. The human was eventually rushed to the hospital with minor injuries. T-Bone was treated and released at the scene.

Police issued a warning to the driver of the Chrysler for failure to yield the right-of-way when making a left turn.
