China: Monkey Struck by Moving Vehicle During Roadside Fight, Walks Away Unharmed

This was the shocking moment that a group of monkeys fought fiercely by a roadside in China, before one of them was struck and pushed forward by a passing vehicle but somehow survived unharmed. On April 26, 2026, in Guangxi, China, the video captured several monkeys scrambling and fighting beside a busy road, apparently battling for dominance within the troop. As the chaotic scene unfolded near the roadside, one monkey suddenly ran into the path of an approaching vehicle. The fast-moving car hit the monkey and continued pushing it forward for several moments, leaving onlookers stunned. Despite the impact, the animal astonishingly managed to get back on its feet shortly afterward. The monkey even performed a backward flip, appearing energetic and largely unaffected by the collision. The video ended with the monkeys scattering away from the roadside after the frightening encounter.
