JEFFERSON COUNTY, Texas -- A Port Acres family is searching for its 4-year-old dog Daisy who was in the back of a pickup truck during a rollover crash in Jefferson county Sunday afternoon.
The 30-year-old driver John Bourgeois II who owns the dog was released from the hospital on Sunday night.
His step-father Hadrian Smith and mother Carol Toups spent hours looking for the mixed lab this afternoon.
She was last seen running west bound on I-10 after a rollover crash on Sunday afternoon.
DPS troopers responded to the wreck on I-10 near Smith Road around 2 p.m.
A spokesperson with DPS said Bourgeois II veered off the road but then over-corrected and was struck by a truck tractor semi-trailer.
The truck then hit the inside cable barrier and flipped over.
Bourgeois was pulled out of the car with the help of firefighters and good Samaritans.
“He has a lot of angels and we are grateful or them,” said his mother Carol Toups.
Toups said her son is recovering but is desperate to see his dog again.
She helped place food on the ground on the side of the interstate just in case Daisy comes back and is hungry.
“She’s a family member, she is,” said Toups.
