DENVER — This is the story of Rudy and Clyde.
Rudy Rodriguez is a 45-year-old Desert Storm veteran and Clyde is his 10-week-old chihuahua puppy, “He’s been with us about a month now. He’s just the love of our life,” Rodriguez said.
It didn’t take long for the two to become best of friends, “He’s a family member, for sure.”
But that almost came to an end when Rudy, his daughter Davernia and Clyde were in a terrible car crash on Interstate 25 and I-225 in Denver.
The car, driven by Rudy’s daughter Davernia, became disconnected with the trailer it was towing, and stopped along I-70 on the overpass.
Rudy stepped out to retrieve the trailer when he saw Davernia begin to drive across the lanes of traffic right in front of an RTD bus. “The bus came and she probably looked and as soon as she pulled out the bus was coming around and it struck her first,” explained Rodriguez.
