Traffic in East Texas Fowled up by Wreck

You think it's hot? Just imagine how those twenty-four penquins felt when the truck that was carrying them overturned in East Texas. The birds were traveling to Moody Gardens in Galveston when their chauffuer rolled the truck they were in into a ditch alongside U.S. 59 near Marshall.

Three penguins were killed by oncoming traffic, and one suffered a broken wing.

Workers from the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler assisted DPS officers in rounding up the rest of the flight-less birds. A chemical company was called which brought a refrigerated trailer for the animals to ride in. Now that's the way to travel this time of year.
