| 2006-08-08 |
| MARSHALL, Texas – A truck transporting zoo animals overturned early Tuesday, spilling about two dozen penguins, an octopus and tropical fish along a highway north of Marshall, authorities said. Three penguins that landed in the highway were killed by oncoming traffic and one died in the crash, authorities said. Another penguin suffered a broken wing. Most of the fish lived and the octopus appeared unharmed, officials said. The octopus and fish were traveling in plastic bags, and some fish died when the bags burst. |
