Authorities Chase Chihuahua At Crash Scene

A four-vehicle pileup injured at least one person Tuesday afternoon at Vista Way and Hill Drive in Vista, authorities said.

A fifth car, a Mustang, swerved to avoid the crash and smashed through a chain-link fence, stopping just short of plummeting to state Route 78 below.

One passenger in a blue sedan had to be cut from the wreckage and was taken to a hospital with serious injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening, said a Vista fire battalion chief.

The 1:30 p.m. crash was apparently caused when the blue sedan driving east on Vista Way turned north onto Hill Drive in front of a white van carrying elderly passengers, said a sheriff's traffic investigator.

Adding to the chaos was an upset Chihuahua that was in one of the cars involved.

A community service officer from the Sheriff's Department placed the little dog inside his van, where the dog went to the bathroom and then bit the officer.

The dog was then placed inside the ambulance with its owner, but the dog again became unruly and jumped out.

The dog raced down Vista Way through the crash scene, with deputies, animal control officers and firefighters chasing after.

One Vista firefighter tripped and fell, doing an action-movie roll on the ground before popping back to his feet.

The Chihuahua was eventually caught.

I'm sorry, but the visual image of deputies, animal control officers and firefighters running after a Chihuahua sent me into a laughing fit.

To me, this is the best part....dog apparently thinking to him/herself...."I'll show this officer, I'll piss and then poo in his nice squad car...that'll teach him to screw with me"
