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.

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

So does T-Bone get a $1300 dollar bill sent to him by the city for medical treatment and a band aid like a human would that was treated by but not transported by the city paramedics ?
