After a wild elephant crossed the road directly in the middle of Charmady Ghat in Belthangady on Sunday night, a Bolero truck lost control of the driver and came to rest in the side drain.
For the past week, the elephant has been lingering in the vicinity. At the time of the event, the Bolero was traveling from Chikkamagaluru to Mangaluru. Fortunately, the driver did not sustain any serious injuries. Locals assisted in lifting the car and saving the driver. The location has been visited by forest staff.
