Baywatch star David Charvet has been accused of killing a dog in an alleged hit-and-run.
The dog's owner, Vera Errico, shared with TMZ that she was walking her three dogs on leashes in a gated Malibu community around 6 a.m. on Thursday, April 16, when Charvet's pickup truck hit the animal.
Errico claimed the actor hit one of her pets and then drove away from the gated community without stopping. She believes Charvet called police only after driving out of the community.
She rushed her 11-year-old Sunday, her English Labrador, to the vet, where the dog was ultimately euthanised.
While Errico and her husband went to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office to file a police report for a hit-and-run, police are not classifying it as such since Charvet called authorities from his truck.
Officials sent deputies to the scene to take a "traffic collision" report where more details are being gathered, including determining if the dog was leashed at the time of the accident.
