Victoria police are on the lookout for the driver of a vehicle that killed a dog in a marked, lit crosswalk, and didn’t stop.
It happened around 5:15 p.m. on Nov. 9, as a pedestrian was using the crosswalk at the intersection of Dallas Road and Menzies Street with his two small dogs, police said.
Police said a vehicle travelling east stopped for the man, but as he was crossing, a westbound vehicle, drove through the intersection.
