Multiple dogs being driven to a police K-9 training facility died in Indiana on Thursday after the air conditioning in the truck transporting them failed in a “freak event,” police say.
According to a Facebook post from the Lake Station Police Department, the dogs were traveling from Chicago O’Hare International Airport to Michigan City, Indiana, when the truck was caught in a two-hour traffic delay. Along the way the air conditioner failed, causing the temperature to rise in the cargo area of the truck, according to the post. Temperatures in the Chicago area reached 92 degrees Fahrenheit on Thursday, the National Weather Service said.
The driver then stopped the vehicle at a gas station in Lake Station, Indiana – about 60 miles southeast of the airport – and saw that the dogs were in distress. He began removing the canines from their crates, which prompted 911 calls into both the Lake Station Fire Department and police department, police said. “There was an overwhelming response from both agencies so much so that civilians and so many others stopped to help where they could,” police said.
