Jet Pack Spooks Dog, Hit By Car On PCH
Written by 991KBU on July 6, 2018
If you thought you heard jet engines at Trancas last night, you did.
A British entrepreneur took a test flight of his jet suit around the parking lot, near Trancas Creek.
His name … Richard Browning.
His company … Gravity International.
Browning apparently makes his living charging corporate events and the like for jet suit demonstrations.
Last night … he told lifeguards he was going to fly a drone.
Instead … he blasted off with jet engines … just after 8 o clock.
Last night’s little test flight was loud enough to cause a small dog to bolt from its owners on the beach … and run onto Pacific Coast Highway … where it was struck by a car.
It does not look like any serious injuries.
Browning was informed of the crash by witnesses … and quickly packed his kit up.
Lifeguards arrived and asked him to stay to talk to sheriff’s deputies. He was asked if he would speak to the dog’s owner about a vet bill.
Instead, Browning drove thru soft sand to escape … he got caught for a few seconds … then sped away.
He did say he was sorry … as he sped away.
