Two passersby, who were on the spot during the incident, were seen rushing to rescue the occupants of the vehicle. The next few frames show the vehicle surrounded by people trying to pull out those trapped inside.
All occupants – a family of 3, including a 4-year-old child – are safe. The car went to Rampur from Delhi.
Monkeys, walking around the streets, snatching food from unsuspecting tourists, are a regular sight in Shimla. The threat of monkeys is one of the major concerns that has led the state government to make various efforts to control the monkey population.
