A group of women had a heart-stopping moment when a wild elephant suddenly charged at their car on the East-West Highway in Gerik, Perak. The terrifying ordeal, captured in a now-viral TikTok video by car owner Lyin Aziz, showed the massive animal chasing and pushing their vehicle with its trunk.

As the car approached two elephants by the roadside, one of them became agitated and charged forward. Panicked, the driver quickly reversed, but the elephant managed to strike the car before stepping aside. Fortunately, all passengers were unharmed, though the vehicle's headlights were damaged.
Aziz later explained that the attack was likely triggered by another driver honking at the elephants. In her post, she expressed gratitude for their safety, attributing their survival to divine protection.
"It reminded me of Prophet Sulaiman's prayers. Truly, God has shielded us. What matters most is our safety, not the damaged headlights," she wrote.
Despite the scare, the women managed to continue their journey, with Aziz taking over the wheel after her shaken friends could no longer drive.
