Former “Baywatch” star David Charvet accidentally struck and killed a dog with his pickup truck in Malibu early Thursday morning.

A spokesperson for the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s station said owner Vera Errico’s dogs were off their leashes when Charvet drove by on Cross Creek Road around 5:30 a.m.

Charvet swerved to avoid the animals when they ran in front of his truck, but tragically one of the dogs was struck and killed, police said.

“It appears at this time the dogs were off the leash and the driver attempted to evade the dogs and accidentally hit one,” the spokesperson said.

Charvet remained on the scene and called police to report the accident.

But a representative for Charvet tells Page Six that the actor “remained at the scene until authorities arrived.”

They noted he “is an animal lover and responsible dog owner who would never intentionally harm an animal,” before further explaining the events that led up to the incident.

The actor told TMZ he had “no comment” when reached by phone and referred a reporter to his publicist.

Charvet is a French-born actor best known for his ’90s roles as Matt Brody on “Baywatch” and Craig Field on “Melrose Place.”

After his acting career, Charvet transitioned into residential contracting, becoming a partner in the Jones Builders Group in LA.
