She loved animals and died trying to save one. And now the man who killed her and ran away from the scene, has been arrested.
Brian McCauslin, from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has been charged with last Saturday’s hit-and-run crash in Franklin Township, New Jersey that killed 23-year-old Tiffany Jantelle as she was helping an injured dog
Jantelle’s boyfriend had accidentally hit the dog and they stopped to help him.
Police say McCauslin was driving the truck that hit and killed Jantelle as she was in the street comforting a dog that had been run over by a car. Her boyfriend also saw the whole thing from the side of the road.
Sadly the dog Jantelle was trying to save, a mixed-breed German Shepherd, had to be euthanized.
Last Monday, flowers and stuffed toys marked the crash scene.
So sad… Such a wonderful young woman to put herself in harms way to help assist that furbaby. Too bad that they both had to suffer… Shame on the man who hit and run… Accidents happen- such is what happened with the pup being hit- but the person that hit the pup tried to help. In doing so- she was killed too… At least the man should have stopped too! He is a coward in my book… Bless Jantelle and that little furbabies soul.
This breaks my heart. God bless this young lady for stopping to help the dog. Shame on the man who hit and killed Tiffany. What an awful thing for the boyfriend to have witnessed.
Very sad…:(
I am so sorry.
why does it have to be the good people who die when the animals need them? my heart goes out to her family and friends
So sad… My prayers and best wishes go out to her family.
My heart is aching for her and her family… She was doing the right thing…Her boyfriend looked on, just like my husband would have… I am mad at him for not trying to protect her as she was trying to help the dog. She is in heaven and rewarded for her love and compassion.
That’s so sad! I hope the guy got the book thrown at him!
