Last monkey on the loose after Mississippi highway crash is captured after being spotted by resident

Authorities have captured the last monkey that escaped after a highway crash in Mississippi. The state Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks said Thursday that a resident near the crash site reported the monkey’s location. The animal was found near a home in the Vossburg area. The incident happened about a week after a truck transporting the monkeys overturned on Interstate 59 near Heidelberg. Five monkeys were killed during the search. Two others were shot by civilians. Officials had warned residents not to approach the Rhesus monkeys, as they can be aggressive.
