FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — A man from Las Vegas is dead after chasing after a dog that ran onto Interstate 25 in northern Colorado.
The Colorado State Patrol says 39-year-old Jason Schaefer was riding in a pickup with a woman Sunday evening when they had a dispute and she pulled over on the interstate in Fort Collins.
The Fort Collins Coloradoan reports the dog jumped out and Schaefer ran after it. A Walmart semitrailer hit and killed both the man and the dog.
The unidentified 37-year-old driver of the truck, who was from Nevada, was taken to the hospital.
