Elephant attacks subcompact in a Safari in South Africa in December... Now, from what I see, the couple seem to creep up on him, stop and then they don't reverse...and then the elephant turns around and flips the car like a toy.
Elephant was put down.

The teacher and her fiancé were driving through Kruger National Park when an elephant walking down the path next to the car turned around and flipped it over, apparently trampling it after the video cuts out. The event was filmed by tourists in the next car, who escaped unharmed.
The elephant concentrated on the back of the car, so both passengers escaped relatively unharmed. Sarah Brooks was stabbed in the thigh by the elephant's tusk. She and her fiancé were both briefly hospitalized and released. But the park's general manager, William Mabasa, said the elephant's behavior was too aggressive, suggesting it was "on musth," a cyclic condition where testosterone levels rise.
