: A man escaped unhurt after the vehicle he was driving crashed into an elephant in Kampung Kolam, Setiu, near here, last night.

Setiu district police chief, DSP Afandi Husin, said that the driver, Sharul Azma Che Samaon, 42, a company manager, escaped unhurt. However, his Porsche Cayenne’s windscreen, bumpers and lights were damaged in the incident, in addition to dents in the bonnet and fenders.

Afandi said that the elephant, which was seen roaming in the area at 6.30 pm yesterday, was reported to have been injured in the leg, and fell at the scene before fleeing into the nearby forest about 10 minutes later.“Efforts to locate the elephant are still being carried out by nine members of Perhilitan Besut, with the help of the public. The elephant is believed to be heading to Bukit Putera, Setiu,” he said.

Meanwhile, the state's Agriculture, Agro-Based Industry and Rural Development Committee chairman, Dr Azman Ibrahim, in a Facebook post, said that the elephant had been under the observation of state Perhilitan for the past few days, because it was found wandering around Setiu and was in the process of being caught and relocated. -
