DANVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A truck carrying about 100 monkeys was involved in a crash Friday in Pennsylvania, state police said as authorities searched for at least three of the monkeys that appeared to have escaped the vehicle.

The truck carrying the animals crashed with a dump truck in the afternoon in Montour County, Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Andrea Pelachick told the Daily Item.

The truck had been on its way to a lab, Pelachick said.

Authorities have asked residents who might see the monkeys to call state police at 570-524-2662.

It was unclear if any people or animals were injured in the crash.

In this neck o’ the woods we turn to Ho Bott News on facebook. He’s way ahead of the print news. You want pictures, he’s there taking pictures. :)

I loved The Monkees as a kid.

Covid-19-Ebola would be the ultimate distraction. Buckle-up.

Saturday morning for me. Lots of good stuff back then.

I had no idea who Julie Newmar was.

In 1973 when I was about 7 years old I remember watching 'Sigmund and the Sea Monsters' on Saturday mornings.

Here's a link to a short video of an episode: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RQGUlAzVjhM

I remember the show so well because I was about 7 at the time and at that age you have a tough time distinguishing between reality and fiction and I would have dreams where I was at that beach and it was a bit unsettling while I was first waking up

Here are 3 links an overview of many of the great Saturday morning shows: of the 60s, 70s, and 80s:

Sounds like the intro to a Dean Koontz novel.

Can’t have these racial overtones, these dog-whistles. Monkeys will be monkeys; just don’t call ‘em that.

Same with “losers”.
