On August 16, a mysterious animal suddenly jumped from a moving truck on a road.

The animal pushed open a metal structure and leaped into the middle of the road, forcing surrounding vehicles to stop in a hair-raising situation. The animal turned out to be an elk, a large member of the deer family measuring 2 meters in length and weighing hundreds of kilograms.

It was a perilous moment that could have easily resulted in a major traffic accident if it had collided with a speeding vehicle. We captured the shocking unexpected situation on the road in on-site video.
