Pa. SPCA treating over 20 dogs following Delaware car crash: report
The Brandywine Valley SPCA in Chester County is helping more than 20 homeless dogs that were involved in a collision on I-95 in Delaware Saturday morning.
A total of 23 dogs were taken to the SPCA following the crash in New Castle County just after 6:45 a.m. on I-95 north, Delaware State Police told NBC10[1] in Philadelphia.
A 31-year-old Maryland woman lost control of her car and hit a van that was carrying the dogs from Louisiana, causing the van to go off the road and overturn into an embankment, the story[2] says.
Neither of the drivers were injured in the crash. The Maryland woman was given a speeding ticket.
One dog with a leg injury was taken to an emergency vet clinic for further evaluation.
Crews with the Delaware Office of Animal Welfare responded to the crash and got the dogs to the SPCA.
The story[3] says the dogs were being taken to rescue organizations in the region due to overcrowding in Louisiana shelters.
The shelter, which serves Pennsylvania and Delaware, is seeking donations[4] to support the emergency medical care of these dogs and others.
