Malaysian police had to investigate an unusual case of road rage in which the angered party was a herd of elephants. It seems a 48-year-old driver struck an elephant calf with his car on a highway Sunday evening in foggy, rainy conditions, reports the Straits Times. "Seeing this, the other (five) elephants rushed towards the car and started trampling it," says Gerik Police Superintendent Zulkifli Mahmood, per CNN. Fortunately, none of the mammals involved appear to have been seriously hurt—not the three family members in the car nor the calf, who police say got up and walked off with its small herd when the trampling was over.
Police photos show damage to the front and sides of the car, and some of the windows (including the large rear one) were smashed. CNN provides some context, noting that Malaysia has been putting up highways in rapid fashion and thus reducing elephants' forest territory. Elephant-crossing signs dot roadsides the way deer-crossing signs dot American roadsides, but after the weekend incident, police issued a fresh warning for highway drivers to be more careful.
