Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Andrea Pelachick confirmed the hunt for the escaped monkeys in Valley Township (Montour County).

“The vehicle involved was following a hundred monkeys, and when the crash occurred a handful of monkeys got out”, she said. “We’re asking everyone to stay away from the monkeys…If they see one, call 911 immediately and get away from the monkey”.

The bizarre news immediately started a wave of memes on Twitter, as people began referencing Terry Gilliam’s “12 Monkeys” and other classics, saying it will cause the end of the world.
