An Oklahoma couple driving home from church hit an animal - a really big one.
The US couple's SUV hit an elephant that escaped from a nearby circus and ran across a rural highway in Enid, about 160km north of Oklahoma City.
Police say the 29-year-old elephant had escaped from the Family Fun Circus at the Garfield County Fairgrounds.
The couple wasn't injured in the crash, but police say the elephant had a broken tusk and an injured leg.
Authorities say the elephant's tusk tore a hole in the SUV's sheet metal.
After the crash, the elephant was taken to a veterinary school for an examination.
Dr Dwight Olson says the elephant doesn't appear to have serious injuries
