Remember the Peugeot 207 commercial when some Indian guy decided to turn an old busted car into an awesome Peugeot with the help of an elephant and some tools?! Well, we might have something similar to that, but with a different kind of ending.
This time around, the elephant didn’t help with the whole design thing, acting a bit more like the wild animal that it is. The entire unfortunate situation was filmed by some tourists in Kruger National Park, South Africa where the said animal overturned a Volkswagen Polo.
It appears that the driver took his car too close to the animal and as a result it reacted aggressively and displayed its full force onto the small car. Fortunately, the passengers managed to escape with only minor injuries but they were still hospitalized and shortly after released.
Concerning the elephant, the park’s manager William Mabasa decided that have it put down as it was too aggressive. "It could have engaged in a fight with other bulls where it was eventually expelled, and when an elephant is in that state it will be very aggressive and I think that's the reason why we had a case like this one," he went on to say.
We must tell you that this isn’t the first time an incident such as this occurred, back in 2012 an elephant also overturning and puncturing a car. The only difference is that back then, the animal wasn’t put down as in this scenario.
