A Pierce County mobile dog-running business was forced to temporarily close after a hit-and-run crash.
We spoke with Seth Black, the owner of Mickey’s Mobile Dog Running, which helps dogs across the county exercise.
Black’s mobile van was retrofitted to include two treadmills inside, which allowed dogs to walk and run at their own pace, helping many pets — who may not have space in their neighborhoods to run or may not be able to run due to their owner’s capacity — get the exercise that they need.
However, the small business has come to a halt last Friday evening.
Black’s father was working on the front porch on Kincaid Avenue in Sumner when a car allegedly blew past a stop sign at Academy Street and Kincaid Avenue, crashing into a transit bus.
“I seen a Sound Transit bus sitting at the intersection and watched this Mercedes car come sliding down the street and come smack right into the van,” he said. “He slid probably 75 to 100 feet sideways down the street before he hit the van.”
