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.

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

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

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