A LORRYLOAD of elephants has overturned on the A-30 motorway in the province of Albacete (Castilla-La Mancha) and the animals are now wandering loose on the highway, traffic authorities confirmed at 16.30 this afternoon (Easter Monday).
The accident – at kilometre 22 in the Murcia direction level with the town of Pozo Cañada - forced police to shut the carriageway, and it took about another two hours before the elephants were rounded up.
One of them was killed in the crash, but at least four were seen strolling around the road.
Local Police from the provincial capital of Albacete, who took the above photograph, had to divert traffic onto the national inter-provincial highway, the N-301, as the elephants were loose on both carriageways.
