Loose Dog Killed By Car in Bridgeville

A pit bull that was running loose in Bridgeville was hit and killed by a car on Bower Hill Road earlier this month.

Bridgeville police said the dog was running loose around 10 p.m. on Oct. 5 when it was struck by a car at Bower Hill Road and Liberty Street.

The dog later had to be euthanized because of the injuries it suffered were too severe to survive.

Police said they cited the animal’s owner, Regina Camp, 39, of Bridgeville, for letting the dog run loose.
