Police said the crash happened at mile 14 northbound around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. 38-year-old William Funkhouser of West Virginia was driving a pickup truck when he fell asleep at the wheel and swiped a tractor-trailer. The tractor-trailer rolled over several times.

The passenger in the pickup suffered serious injuries and was hospitalized.

Several dogs were being transported in the tractor-trailer and got loose. One was found dead at the scene, while another was still being sought Wednesday afternoon.

The other animals were recovered and at least one was treated at a veterinary hospital.

Police are still asking the public to keep an eye out for the last missing dog named Whiskey.
