Two men were arrested after they reportedly told police officers a dog was driving their minivan when it crashed.

Officers were called to a veterinary clinic in Oklahoma, United States, when a vehicle was spotted in a ditch on January 11, according to Channel Eight.

When the owners of the gold minivan, William McDonald, 65, and Steven Schofield, 42, were asked how the accident happened, they said their pooch was driving.

Both were immediately detained, with Tahlequah police officers seemingly not believing their story.


Their dog was taken to a local animal shelter but has so far refused to say whether it was behind the wheel.
