It’s a problem in India. There was an incident last year where 11 were killed in a similar accident.
Along with big cats, bears, and boars, the Indian government long since has taken the position to try to ‘shoo’ the wild elephants away from populated areas but otherwise not try to restrain their movements, and deal with the consequences — including the inevitable losses of human life — as they occur. Elephants kill more Indians than tigers, by a wide margin. Plus they wreak havoc on farms.
