Highlights
  • Officials said the monkey incident raised safety concerns as responders used PPE and followed the driver's guidance after the Mississippi crash.
  • Tulane University said the primates are not infectious and said an animal care team would assist as authorities coordinate the response.
  • Rhesus macaques can be dangerous when habituated to humans, which complicates risk assessment in urban areas and requires careful handling.
