Driver and his dog get covered in multi-coloured PAINT after he spins off the road with multiple gallons on his back seat



This driver and his dog were left looking a little off colour after they were involved in a particularly messy car crash.

The pair ended up covered in emulsion after their cargo of five-gallon paint cans opened on impact, spilling – and flinging – their vibrant contents all over the vehicle’s interior.

The driver was taken to hospital drenched in all manner of hues and suffering from minor injuries after he careered off a road in Washington state.

His dog also received a comprehensive coating, turning her from midnight black to scruffy off-white.

However, she was soon restored to her former glory by a local animal charity.

A spokesman said: ‘The dog appears to be a labrador mix and she looks great after the clean-up.

'She has big brown eyes and she’s wagging her tail.’

Trooper Russ Winger teamed up with an off-duty firefighter to take care of the animal, which had been turned grey from all the different paints.

Once back in the pink, man and pet will be reunited, police said.
