This is the heartbreaking moment a grieving mother monkey tried to help its partner after she was struck by a car.<br /><br />The female long-tailed monkey was left dying in the road by the cruel driver that hit it in Lembang town of Indonesia's West Bandung Regency on July 15.<br /><br />In the video, a panic-stricken male monkey from the same troop was seen tending to his injured mate. <br /><br />The primate hovered around the body while trying to drag it with him to the roadside but several passing cars repeatedly startled him.<br /><br />Several other monkeys started appearing from the trees a few moments later, watching their friend lying in the middle of the road.<br /><br />The primates eventually dragged the dead member of the troop onto the pavement but she was already dead.<br /><br />Tedi Kurniawan Mochamad, who lives nearby, said: "We wanted to help but we are concerned about the other monkeys. They are a large group.<br /><br />"Some of my neighbours tried helping but they were chased away by the monkeys."<br /><br />The dead monkey was eventually evacuated from the road after a few hours. The body was buried in woodland in nearby the village.
