A turning car hit a woman, ran over her foot and killed her dog on Cedar Springs Road today (Saturday, Jan. 30) at about noon. She was crossing with the light. The car didn’t stop to render aid.
Josh Friedman, co-owner of the new Zephyr restaurant on the corner of Cedar Springs and Throckmorton, rushed the woman and her dog to CityVet where the dog died.
They returned to the restaurant to meet police and download video from their new camera system. Friedman said he thought the video would be clear enough to get a license number.
As of 4 p.m., police had still not taken a report. The woman was refusing to get medical help before filing her report.
Zephyr’s security company or Dallas Police should be able to enhance the video enough to get a license plate. A police camera across the street should also have caught the hit and run.
The owners dog refused medical assistance, maybe she was in the wrong, and didn’t cross when she was allowed to cross.. There’s no evidence in the video or statement as to where the sign said “Walk” Sounds fishy as she is probably trying to get attention or sympathy from this. I’ve noticed this same woman walking her NEW DOG with a long leash, especially near busy intersections/streets.. Keynote to future or current dog owners, if you know the intersection you are about to cross, especially with it being a busy one, you might want to consider getting a shorter lease, or know how to stop a dog going further.. Common sense!!
