A truck carrying about 100 monkeys was involved in a crash Friday in Pennsylvania. All have since been accounted for after some escape after crash.
DANVILLE, Pa. -- The last of the escaped monkeys from the crash of a truck towing a trailer load of 100 of the animals were accounted for by late Saturday, a day after the pickup collided with a dump truck on a Pennsylvania highway, authorities said.Several monkeys had escaped following Friday's collision, Pennsylvania State Police said.
The shipment of monkeys was en route to a CDC-approved quarantine facility after arriving Friday morning at New York's Kennedy Airport from Mauritius, an Indian Ocean island nation, police said. The Atlanta-based CDC said the agency was providing"technical assistance" to state police in Pennsylvania.
Earlier, police had earlier urged people not to look for or capture any monkey, with troopers tweeting:"Anyone who sees or locates the monkey is asked not to approach, attempt to catch, or come in contact with the monkey. Please call 911 immediately." Crates littered the road Friday as troopers searched for monkeys, rifles in hand. Valley Township firefighters used thermal imaging to try to locate the animals, and a helicopter also assisted, the Press Enterprise newspaper of Bloomsburg reported.
