The car didn’t prioritize Phil and I paid for it

Elephants are amazing creatures that combine enormous size with impressive intelligence. So if an elephant decides to cross a road, it is best that all vehicles give it the right of way, as no one wants to see it take action.

The strange event took place in the Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary, according to The Nation Thailand. When the video begins, the elephant is in one lane of the road and the truck is in the other. They are only a few meters apart and after a few minutes of checking and observing the large animal, the beginning of the end of the car begins.

Passers-by called the Wildlife Sanctuary for help, who arrived and removed the elephant from the roads within minutes. As for the driver, there are conflicting reports as to whether he was ultimately unharmed or sustained minor injuries.

Why the elephant overturned the car is still a mystery. Nation Thailand claimed he may have been trying to find food in the pickup truck. However, the USA Today video claims the animal was upset because the truck driver did not stop to let him pass.

Elephants can become very dangerous to humans. According to statistics from India’s Ministry of Forests, Environment and Climate Change, they have killed 3,310 people in the country between 2014 and 2020.
