Baden-Württemberg: Dog opens car door: And is fatally injured

Hilzingen (dpa / lsw) - A dog jumped out of a moving car in Hilzingen (Konstanz district) - and did not survive. The mongrel had a 39-year-old woman in the back seat of the car, the police said on Tuesday. Shortly before Hilzingen-Binningen, the animal managed to open the left rear door and jump out. An oncoming 85-year-old driver could not avoid it and collided with the dog. He was injured so badly that he died at the scene of the accident.

In view of the incident, the police reminded that dogs should be secured when driving a car - be it with a transport box or with belt systems.
