Wild animals and cars generally don’t go well together and this latest incident is a perfect case in point
In a latest occurrence, an enraged elephant ends up damaging a Maruti Swift severely in the middle of the road. Elephants are generally mild creatures. However, once they lose control, they can simply decimate anything that comes in their path. In India, we see tamed and wild elephants on the roads in many places. They mostly mind their own business. However, if, for any reason, they get enraged and go berserk, their sheer size is enough to create a lot of destruction. For now, let us take a look at the details of this latest case.
Elephant Damages a Maruti Swift
The specifics of this instance emerge from the_autoster on Instagram. The visuals capture an angry elephant in the middle of a busy road. Now, this doesn’t seem like an isolated location at all. Perhaps, the elephant belongs to someone but the latter lost his control over the animal. As a result, we see a bus, a Swift and a bunch of motorcycles at this place. On the other side of the action, a lot of people have gathered. However, the scenes of the elephant playing with the Swift like a toy are quite shocking.
The entire side of the hatchback has been decimated by the animal. At one point, it just lifts the entire vehicle with its strong trunk and throws it to the other side of the road. Thereafter, it tries to move the bus with its sheer strength. Thankfully, the bus remains in its place. There are a few people sitting on the elephant, perhaps its owners. However, they are an utter failure when it comes to controlling the beast. The video cuts before we could know if they eventually managed to bring it under control or not. In any case, the Maruti Swift has been left in a dilapidated condition. We can only hope that no one got injured in this case.
My View
This is not the first time I have reported an animal damage a vehicle on roads. However, this might be a rare occasion where the tamed animal lost control while its owners were on its back. Generally, the wild elephants end up creating such ruckus. But this goes to show that we must always be careful and respectful around the animals. If we tease them too much, they can wreak havoc in no time. This is a perfect case in point. Let us keep an eye out for more such cases going forward.
