Texas police said Thursday they arrested a “reckless driver” who crashed a truck into two cars in a Walmart parking lot, but were shocked to learn the identity of the culprit.
A dog had somehow started its owner’s vehicle while being left to wait in the car, the Kilgore Police Department said.
While its owners were out shopping, the pup became “fidgety” and “bounced around the cab, setting this truck in motion,” according to investigators.
One of the victims witnessed the accident and was “shocked” to see a dog behind the wheel, police said. She tried to get out of the way when the truck rushed towards her, but she couldn’t avoid an accident. Apparently this nice boy hadn’t been trained to use the brakes.

Police said the vehicle’s steering column had some previous damage and theorized that the dog must have started the vehicle. The woofer was on a leash and investigators believe he got caught in the emergency brake and released it.

“It doesn’t seem feasible, but a witness saw the dog behind the wheel just before the accident,” Kilgore police said. “He certainly has a guilty look on his face.”
