Speeding Driver Hits Elephant, Gets Crushed to Death

Police said on Thursday that the man’s vehicle hit the elephant's back legs, enraging the animal. The elephant then proceeded to stomp on and destroy the car’s engine, killing the driver in the process, The Independent reported. Signs along the route warned drivers to beware of roaming elephants, which will sometimes stray from from Khao Yai National Park located in the northeast of the Southeast Asian country.

The officer explained that the elephant involved in the attack had been guided back inside the national park, where officials were looking after it.

Yes he was speeding, but he didn’t deserve to be crushed to death for it. I’ve sped (when I was younger). I don’t think I deserve to be killed for it.
