Dashcam footage captures terrifying moment truck smashes into an elephant on the road

Here in the UK, wildlife on our roads is pretty limited. The occasional hedgehog, a rogue pheasant, or if you're really unlucky you might hit a deer.

However, dashcam footage that's recently surfaced from Thailand shows the menace that drivers there have to contend with. It captures the hair-raising moment an elephant steps out into the path of a truck – leaving the driver with no option but to hit it.
