Elephant Herd Rampages Car in Malaysia After Calf is Hit

A herd of wild elephants in Malaysia trampled on a car after it struck a baby elephant along a major highway. The incident occurred when the car crashed into the calf while negotiating a left bend on the road. The other elephants rushed towards the car and started trampling it before leaving the area. No deaths or serious injuries were reported, but the car sustained extensive damage. Malaysia's rapid development of highways has led to the loss of forest cover for elephants, forcing them to venture onto roads in search of food. Authorities have warned drivers to exercise caution as elephant crossings are common in the area.
