HA TINH — Three wild elephants that escaped from Vu Quang national park have been causing concern among hundreds of households in the two communes of Huong Dien and Huong Quang in the central province of Ha Tinh.

The elephants have crushed motorbikes in their path and stormed into residential houses, according to local authorities.

Villager Nguyen Thi Phuong from Kieu hamlet of Huong Dien Commune said two elephants rushed towards her in the evening.

"My husband was out and I just managed to take the children and run away in time," said Phuong.

"They ruined the vegetables and other plants in the garden.

"Nothing could prevent these animals from doing that."
