This is a sight which unfortunately has become more common than we would like it to be. Often on highways which cut through wooded lands and reserve forests, people drive very rashly and the result is often fatal for a variety of animals. There have been reports of many rusty spotted cats and other species being killed on the highway through Bandipur as well.
This was an instance on NH-17 on the Bombay to Goa stretch. Usually macaques are vigilant animals and them being killed in hits shows how rash the vehicles would be driving. One needs speed regulators and enforcers in such areas.
Discussions on the same welcome.
