Dog survives horror crash

Crash survivor Colin Reeves thought his best mate Schnell the dog was a goner after a hit and run driver rammed them off the northwestern motorway.

The painter was driving to work on November 23 when the impact of the crash caused his station wagon to roll four times and land in a ditch.

Witnesses at the scene called emergency services and were amazed to see the father of three emerge from the wreckage with a sore shoulder and a scratch on the head.

Mr Reeves dusted himself off and noticed his dog was gone.

"All the windows in the car were closed except for one," he says. "He must’ve come out when the car was rolling."

Mr Reeves went with a friend to look for his beloved pet after being cleared by paramedics at the scene.

He was amazed to find the dog – uninjured – about one kilometre away sitting on a driveway in Massey. MORE>>
