An Odgen, Utah, woman was struck by a truck driven by a police dog. The accident occurred when Ranger, a German shepherd, was left alone in an idling police truck while his handler attended to a domestic dispute. The truck began inching forward after Ranger apparently bumped the shift lever on the steering column.
The woman, who was outside retrieving her mail, never saw the creeping truck. She suffered a fractured pelvis and tailbone. And, according to her husband, she had tire marks on her clothes.
