The incident happened in Limpopo, a province in the north-east of South Africa. The truck was transporting oranges from the farm to the market. It broke down on the way.

Ohhh, they got the taste for trains now. They're gonna be pushing them over for that sweet, sweet citrus.

Push em over? Nah, that's too easy. Elephants are rare in that they're one of the few species to seek 'help' from us sometimes knowing there are tasks we're good for, they recognize human talents and behaviors at least as far as that is concerned

I think they'd slash tires or purposefully lean on a side to bend an axel. Less of a sure thing, much more anonymous.
