Elephant Tramples Motorcyclist Twice on Uttarakhand Highway, Man Miraculously Survives! 🐘

A terrifying elephant encounter near Jolly Grant Airport in Uttarakhand has raised fresh concerns about wildlife safety on the Haridwar-Dehradun Highway.

The incident was captured on camera by a passing cab driver, Shiva Sharma, early Thursday morning. The viral footage shows an elephant knocking a motorcyclist to the ground and stepping on him twice. Miraculously, the rider survived the frightening encounter.

The elephant was later seen breaking through a roadside railing to return to the adjoining Rajaji Tiger Reserve.

With elephants frequently crossing this forest corridor, motorists are being advised to remain alert, especially during night travel, and maintain a safe distance from wild animals.
