Dog Falls Onto Car On I-96; Driver Dies
Bizarre Accident Kills 81-Year-Old Man
An 81-year-old man died Wednesday following a bizarre weekend crash in which a dog fell onto his vehicle on Interstate 96.
Charles George Jetchick, of Livonia, was driving in a 1994 Ford Thunderbird on westbound I-96 at the Schoolcraft Road overpass at about 12:50 p.m. Saturday when the crash occurred, according to Michigan State Police. A large dog fell from the overpass through the windshield of the Thunderbird, police said.
Jetchick and his son, Bill, were transported to St. Mary's Hospital, where the 81-year-old man was admitted. Bill Jetchick was treated and released for minor injuries.
"I was kind of looking in the front seat to see if a piece of concrete had fallen, then I turned and looked in the back seat and there was a dog," said Bill Jetchick.
Charles Jetchick died a few days later, but as his four children now plan his funeral, they do have some answers.
The state police said the dog escaped from a nearby yard and apparently jumped over a fence to get out of the yard and jumped over the guard rail onto the freeway.
The dog, a Labrador retriever, was killed in the crash, according to police.
"It's bizarre, tragic circumstances," said Bill Jetchick. :@@:
