A couple and their dog were all found dead in a California creek. Officials suspect the couple was taking their pet on a walk before they were fatally struck by a speeding car.
Matthew Chachere, 39, Jennifer Besser, 36, and their dog were found dead under dense brush in San Luis Obispo, California.
"The driver was not suspected of alcohol impairment; a traffic collision report was completed, and the car was towed," said a news release from the San Luis Obispo Police Department. Police now believe that Chachere and Besser were walking their dog when they were hit by the car before it crashed along a sharp turn in the road. Speed was likely a factor, officials said.Detectives interviewed the car's driver, a 24-year-old San Luis Obispo man, and police said he has been cooperative.
"Criminal charges will be determined based on the evidence and findings at the conclusion of the investigation," the police statement said. Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
