This is the terrifying moment a wild elephant went berserk and stomped on a passing car with the family inside.
The jumbo was spooked after a driver allegedly sounded their horn at night time in Perak, Malaysia on August 2.
It then reportedly became angry and smashed the grey Toyota as the driver and four passengers cowered inside.
Noraini Romli, who is in another car waiting on the highway, said they tried to evade the mad rampaging elephant.
She said: "We turned off our headlights and did not stop driving.
We called the authorities after we were safe from the animal." Another driver told local media: ''One motorist proceeded to honk and angered the elephant, which subsequently stomped on the nearest car.
Luckily, all those in the car managed to escape unhurt.'' Onlookers said the car had skidded onto the grass ditch to avoid hitting the elephant.
While the jumbo was blocking the road, other drivers then sounded their horns which made the elephant panic and attack the car.
Several drivers then passed in front of the elephant at low speed and turned off their lights to prevent attracting its attention.
Meanwhile, all four passengers and the driver of the damaged car were reportedly safe after they scrambled out of the vehicle and fled without any injuries.
Wildlife rangers blamed the driver for sounding the horn to try and move the elephant from the road.
Department of Wildlife and National Parks of Perak Director Yusoff Shariff said a car reportedly on a rush trying to avoid the elephants had caused the incident.
He said: "Based on our investigation, the car was damaged after it skidded to the road shoulder while avoiding the animals which were crossing the road.'' Yusoff said their agency is investigating the incidents and gathering more information from witnesses.
He confirmed that two adult elephants and a calf had been released into their habitat in a nearby forest.
The agency had earlier advised people not to honk their horns when they encounter animals while driving, as this can cause panic and make them aggressive.
