Mum's heartbreak after dog leaps from car to his death as yobs throw bricks from bridge

A mum says she cradled her dead puppy in her arms after a horrific road accident caused by idiot yobs throwing bricks from an overhead bridge.

Traumatised Roxi Greenwood blew a tyre swerving in terror to miss a brick being dropped from the bridge on a road in York on Saturday, and pulled over to assess the damage.

But her 18-month-old sausage dog Dash, who was on the passenger seat at the time, became frightened by the noise, and escaped from the car's open window accidentally jumping into the path of an oncoming vehicle.
