In Thailand, a huge elephant has run over a pickup truck, although elephants do not just attack. A strange incident occurred in Khao Ang Ryu Nai Reserve. At the beginning of the video, the elephant is on one lane and the pickup is on the other.
The elephant examines the car with its trunk and then begins to turn it over. At the same time, it is not visible that the driver has done anything that could provoke the animal. The pickup truck stands on two wheels and slowly rolls over.
Unable to help the poor fellow themselves, other motorists enlisted the help of reserve staff. They chased the elephant away and then helped the man into the truck.
The reason why the elephant overturned the truck is still unclear. Presumably, the animal was angry that the driver did not stop to let it pass.
Elephants are deadly to humans. According to statistics from the Ministry of Natural Resources of India, these animals killed 3,310 people in the country between 2014 and 2020.
