26-year-old Wikus Ceronie was driving in South Africa last Friday when he saw a hippo on the road in front of him. And before he could back up, it charged him.

Even though there was damage done to the bonnet of my vehicle and the door couldn’t open, I’m grateful there were no serious injuries at the end of day.
