6-year-old Sadie was struck and killed by a fleeing motorist on Nov. 13.
A $1,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to the identity of a middle-aged male driver who struck and killed a dog last month in Hilltown Township.
According to the Hilltown Township Police Department, on Nov. 13. at about 8 p.m., a 6-year-old white Sheltie/Collie mix, Sadie, slipped out of her collar and ran towards Hilltown Pike near Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church. Two individuals immediately went after her and stopped traffic on Hilltown Pike in both directions.
As the individuals were about to take custody of Sadie in the middle of the roadway, a vehicle traveling south on Hilltown Pike struck the dog. The operator of the striking vehicle reportedly said something to one of the individuals prior to leaving the scene. The operator is described as a middle-aged male with dark and gray hair. He was operating a black mid-size sedan.
Sadie was rushed to a local animal hospital, but died from internal injuries.
Animal Lifeline, of Warrington, has posted the reward in the hopes of identifying the driver and completing the investigation. If you are the driver, or you can provide information as to the driver’s identity or his vehicle’s license plate, please contact Officer James T. Browne at [email protected].
