Dashcam video shows moment elephant charges at truck in South Africa

Dash camera video captured the terrifying moment an elephant in South Africa charged at a truck while a man was driving.
Norman Nukeri, a fuel supply driver in Hoedspruit, was on his way to a client on June 1st when he stopped for elephants crossing the path.
One elephant started coming towards the vehicle then left its path, but returned and charged towards the truck. The animal made contact and crumpled the truck's hood, leaving Nukeri stunned but unharmed.

Why are you late to work ? An elephant ran into my truck

[@joeanderson444]

Having a trailer behind him made it difficult to even try to go in reverse!

[@phoebeandme4935]

What was he thinking to himself at the end there? Should I get out and clean my britches now or just wait

[@nightstorm9872]

Did he really lock the doors to keep the elephant from getting inside?

[@chosenone3527]

I would've too lol

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

No it was to reduce the risk of the man falling ou of the truck if it got flipped over.

[@africanwarlord5877]

Guy: 😐 Elephant: 😠 Hippo: BECAUSE YOU DON'T BUDGET!!! 👻

[@conniemoses407]

oh my!!!! bless his heart! he handled that much better than me but i bet he had to clean the seat he is sitting on!!!LOL

[@Del-Canada]

Buddy did what you are supposed to do, stop your vehicle and make loud noises to scare the animals.

[@bryonstephens9263]

That would have been my last day of work..

[@mhopkins9071]

Well, that was just plain terrifying. 1) for the elephant 2) for the gas tank he was hauling

[@Michael_W007]

Boss: Leroy what you do to your damn truck this time Leroy: You won't believe this but this big mufcking elephant attacked me. Boss: Mmmmhmmm

Roll Tide

[@sunshine7876]

Build a road for elephants if they had a road this wouldn't happen

[@mzee5533]

If you’re not living in these areas better keep quiet fellas you can’t fence around elephant zones unless you’ve a single elephant in the zoo. Elephants destroys even highly electrified fences

[@brownleatherboot277]

He should have jumped out and bit the elephant on the ear.

[@guyinsj6591]

He should have installed the LOUD HORN to HONK at the elephant ....

[@mzee5533]

Don’t try this to elephants especially with a tiny little car or pickup 🛻. Elephants are only afraid of the semis

[@shawnwhalen6358]

Aaaaaa oooooo gaaa!!!

[@victorianrichard8097]

elephant is bad

«The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which GOD gave unto Him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of GOD, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.» [(Apocalypse) Revelation Chapter 1:1-3] Jakub.

@@melaniexoxo Jesus is a dead Jew nailed to two sticks of wood you Christ Stains ignore because you sure as hell don't act like his mythology book tells you to. Oh, I apologize. This comment might have offended you ... I hope so.
