ENID, Okla. (AP) — Police in Enid are investigating a minor collision between a car and an elephant.

Officers say a couple driving home from church on U.S. 81 Wednesday night sideswiped the bull elephant that had escaped from Family Fun Circus at the Garfield County Fairgrounds.

The couple wasn't injured but police say the elephant suffered a broken tusk, injured leg plus bumps, bruises and scratches.

Police say the elephant's tusk tore a hole in the sheet metal of the car.
