John Travolta’s two dogs were struck and killed by a service truck at an airport in Maine last Thursday. City officials confirmed the story to the Bangor Daily News today.
Officials have released the following statement regarding the accident: “At approximately 1 a.m. on Thursday, May 13, 2010, an airplane carrying members of the John Travolta family landed at Bangor International Airport. While there, two small dogs were taken for a walk by someone who is not a family member.”
According to officials, an airport service pickup truck was approaching the airplane and did not seem to see the dogs. Unfortunately, the dogs were hit and killed. The airport is investigating the accident. The city will make no further comment to respect the family’s privacy.
“The airport takes safety very seriously,” airport director Rebecca Hupp told the BDN, “Many flights come and go without incidents. Clearly, this is an unfortunate accident. Our deepest sympathies are with the family.”
John Travolta and his family have not yet issued a statement regarding this.
