WOODSTOCK, Conn. (AP) — A minivan carrying 14 puppies hit a utility pole and rolled over in Connecticut. The crash in Woodstock happened at about 6 a.m. Thursday on a rural road. The driver was not seriously hurt, but several dogs were brought to a veterinarian center in nearby Massachusetts to be examined. Fire officials say one of the dogs had to be euthanized, but the others appeared to be mostly OK. The cause of the accident is under investigation.
