FAIR LAWN, N.J. – Police in New Jersey say a dog helped officers find the home of a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle.
Fair Lawn police say the man was crossing Berdan Avenue at Sunnyside Drive when he was hit Wednesday night. The man, who didn’t have any ID, was taken to a hospital for treatment of head and leg injuries.
His American bulldog was not injured. “Mr. Wrinkles” led officers to the man’s home about five blocks away so the 64-year-old’s family could be notified.
The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and was taken to a hospital for treatment of chest and arm injuries.
