Oklahoma, USA - A couple had an unusual encounter on their way home from church in Enid, Okla. While driving back to their wheat farm after services, they sideswiped an elephant. The animal had escaped from a nearby circus. Bill and Deena Carpenter escaped injury but the pachyderm didn't fare so well as it suffered a broken tusk and possible broken leg. The tusk punched through the side of the Carpenter's SUV. "The good Lord was with us," Carpenter said. The elephant was treated by vetenarian, Dr. Dwight Olson, who found the injured animal hiding in the bushes, then it was transferred to the veterinary school at Oklahoma State University for follow-up procedures.
