In a tragic turn of events, a second monkey has been shot and killed after escaping from an overturned truck on a Mississippi highway. This news comes just a week after the initial accident, which resulted in the escape of a total of three monkeys.
The incident occurred on Highway 82 in Oktibbeha County, when a truck transporting a group of monkeys overturned. The driver, who was unharmed, was able to safely contain one of the monkeys, but the other three managed to escape into the nearby woods.
Since then, authorities have been working tirelessly to locate the missing monkeys and ensure the safety of the public. Despite their best efforts, one of the monkeys was tragically killed after being shot by a local resident who mistook it for a wild animal.

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks has also issued a statement, urging the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings of the missing monkey. They have assured the community that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure the safety of both the public and the remaining monkey.
This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible transportation and handling of animals. The trucking company involved in the accident is cooperating with authorities to determine the cause of the accident and to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
