A 2007 Toyota Camry was traveling south on I-95 when it ran off the interstate and struck the guardrail. A dog that was traveling in the Camry escaped from the vehicle following the crash. The driver of the Camry and dog’s owner, Katie M. Mason, 28, of Stafford, Va., chased after the dog into the southbound travel lanes.

The crash remains under investigation.
