Animal rescue transport hit by tractor trailer injuring two and several animals

Rural Texas Animal No Kill (TANK) Animal Rescue is a local rescue working to foster animals and find them new homes, most of the time out of state.

On Friday, two volunteers with the rescue began a trip to the Northeast part of the country to deliver 24 cats and 23 dogs that were adopted.

Early Saturday morning the transport van was hit by a tractor-trailer in El Campo, Texas.

The two volunteers were hospitalized, the van was a total loss and as of Tuesday night, one dog and one cat have died.

“There’s no words. Those animals entrusted us to put them on that transport van. I’m just speechless,” Keri Morales said, a volunteer and foster for Rural TANK.

Rural TANK founder Kayla Denny was unfortunately out of the country and could not assist. Morales was one who immediately headed out there. She learned it was a dog she knew, Sweet Pea also known as Sandy Sue by her foster family, that was killed.
