ESCAPED!

Monkeys on Loose in Pennsylvania After Truck Crash

The vehicle was carrying 100 of the 3-pound monkeys, which are worth $10,000 each.

A truck transporting 100 monkeys crashed in Pennsylvania, setting four free. Three of the cynomolgus monkeys were captured overnight in Danville, but one still remains unaccounted for, authorities said Saturday. Police asked the public in a tweet not to approach the monkey, but instead to call 911. The vehicle carrying the 3-pound monkeys—reportedly worth up to $10,000 each—collided with a dump truck on Route 54 on Friday afternoon. Local resident Elisa Allen told WGN she went out to search for the escapees. “I saw it on Facebook, and actually this started as kind of a family fun joke about just making an experience and going to try and save a monkey, so I actually brought a kennel, flashlights [and] night vision goggles,” she said.
