Deputies Seek Saratoga Hit-And-Run Driver Who Struck 2 Dogs

SARATOGA - Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputies are looking for a driver wanted in connection with a felony hit-and-run crash that injured two dogs so severely they had to be euthanized Friday in Saratoga.

Around 8:30 a.m. deputies were notified that a hit-and-run had occurred on Dagmar Drive at Holiday Court.

A Saratoga woman was walking two dogs in that vicinity when they were struck by a gray or black Ford truck and pulled under the vehicle.

The dogs were rushed to a vet, where they had to be euthanized due to the severity of their injuries. The dogs were Labradors named Sadie and Chudley.

The woman, Anne Palmer, was holding on to a dog leash and fell to the ground when the dogs were hit.

She suffered moderate injuries and was transported to a hospital.

Deputies say the suspect vehicle was a newer, long-bed crew cab with large tires and a camper shell that was not the same color as the truck. Surveillance images from the neighborhood are provided from the sheriff's office.
