The motorbike taxi driver had heard some sparking from an electric generator before the macaque fell down and hit the ground. Electricity nearby also blacked out temporarily. The monkey then managed in a daze to climb up on to the tree but then stopped responding concerning the motorbike taxi driver.
The motorbike taxi driver then called for rescue services assistance. The monkey remains at a local veterinary hospital.
