Residents of a town in Pennsylvania in the US have been warned not to approach a monkey that was missing after a crash involving a lorry towing a trailer taking about 100 of the animals to a laboratory.

Police urged people not to look for or capture the cynomolgus monkey after the crash on Friday in Montour county.
