PATERSON, N.J. (WPIX) – A two-year-old dog that escaped a fatal car crash in Paterson on Sunday was found safe and sound Thursday.
John Everhart, of Bethesda, Maryland, was driving his SUV on Interstate 80 when authorities say it flipped over on the highway. Everhart died in the crash.
The 20-year-old adopted the 40-pound basset hound named “Bodhi” about a year ago.
According to reports, the victim’s father, Jay Everhart, said the family was in Maryland for a memorial service when they received news the dog had been found.
Animal control officials say the dog was found on Caldwell Ave. near McBride Ave. early Thursday.
Everhart’s father said a friend of John’s will pick up the dog and bring him home to Bethesda.
