Jesse Koz had travelled across 17 countries in his car with his pet since he first began the trip in 2017.
In a tragic incident, a social media influencer and his beloved golden retriever died in a car crash just two days before completing a lifelong dream road trip from Brazil to Alaska.
According to The Independent, 29-year-old Jesse Koz from Bazil and his pet dog Shurastey died instantly last week after his 1978 Volkswagen Beetle entered into a head-on crash with a Ford Escape in Oregon, US. The female driver of the Ford, on the other hand, survived the smash and was taken to a hospital with injuries, while a toddler in the back of the vehicle was uninjured.
The media outlet reported that Mr Koz had travelled across 17 countries in his car with his pet since he first began the trip in 2017. The journey, which was set to end in Alaska, was slowed down in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and cross-border restrictions that had prevented him from driving across the US-Mexico border.
