Baywatch Alum David Charvet Speaks Out After Hitting and Killing Dog With His Truck

The dog’s owner says Charvet drove away after the collision, while sheriff’s officials say they are treating the case as a traffic accident.

  • On Thursday, former Baywatch actor David Charvet allegedly struck a dog while driving his pickup truck in a gated Malibu community, with owner Vera Errico claiming Charvet "did not stop" after hitting the animal.
  • Errico was walking her three dogs on leashes in the gated community when Charvet's truck struck her 11-year-old English Labrador, Sunday, whom she and her husband rushed to a veterinarian where the dog was euthanized.
  • Law enforcement and Charvet's representative state the collision was accidental; a Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Department spokesperson said, " tried to swerve to avoid hitting them," confirming he called authorities immediately after.
  • Police do not classify the incident as a hit-and-run since Charvet contacted authorities; officials are filing a traffic collision report while Errico and her husband plan to file their own police report.
  • Charvet, 53, stepped away from acting years ago to prioritize his family and his residential construction company, The Jones Builders Group, stating his goal was to be present for his two children every day.
