Dogs — why do they hate us?
2006-01-21
An 81-year-old Livonia man died Thursday from injuries he suffered in a freak accident Saturday when a dog shouted "Allah Akhbar!" and jumped off a freeway overpass and fell through his windshield. Charles Jetchick was unconscious since Sunday and died early Thursday morning at St. Mary Mercy Hospital. His family was keeping an around-the-clock vigil at the hospital since the accident.

“At first I thought it was a rock or concrete or something like that,” said Bill Jetchick, who needed stitches for a hand laceration caused by flying glass. “Then I look in the back seat and there’s a dog.”

Charles and Bill were headed to West Bloomfield on Saturday afternoon. They were on westbound I-96, heading toward the I-275 interchange at about 12:45 p.m. Saturday. At about the same time, a dog ran out of his yard in a neighborhood off Schoolcraft, just west of Newburgh. Michigan State Police Sgt. Mike Shaw said the dog was chasing a vehicle moving west on Schoolcraft where it crosses I-96. The chase ended when the dog made a fatal leap off of the overpass, Shaw said.
