I gave a statement to the police. The other driver wasn't speeding (neither was I), wasn't doing anything unsafe. As they crossed the street, I could see the dog jerking at the leash, generally acting like a spaz. As the car in front of me approached the corner, the dog jerked again and the leash broke. No way for the driver to avoid hitting the dog.
Your original post read
Mom, dad, baby (in stroller pushed by dad), dog (on leash held by mom). Dog breaks leash, runs into street, gets hit by a car.
and now you state
As they crossed the street
? Were they also crossing the street illegally or did they have the "pedestrian" right of way?
