This is the heartbreaking moment a mother donkey is sent spiralling through the air after she was hit by a car with her foal desperately muzzling her head and trying to get her to stand up.

But the mother donkey appears to be seriously injured and unable to stand as she attempts to inch across the road.

The tragic incident played out on Bahmaei Ahvaz road, near the small town of Bahmaei, in south-western Iran’s Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, according to local media reports.

The footage was shot from a vehicle on the road but it is currently unclear who filmed it and if they stopped to help the injured animal.

The footage appears to begin in slow motion with the two donkeys, mother and foal, running out into the road. One of them unfortunately runs right into the path of an oncoming car and is sent flying, apparently damaging the car’s bumper too.

The mother donkey that was hit by the car can be seen trying to get back up but it seems unable to stand on its front legs. Its companion rushes over to it and appears to be trying to help it back up by pulling on its ear with its mouth.

Local media speculated that the donkey’s front legs might have been broken in the accident.

It is unclear what happened to the donkey after the footage ends.
