No negligence was found in the accident involving a container truck that fatally struck a male elephant calf at Kilometre 80 on the Gerik-Jeli stretch of the East-West Highway last Sunday.

Gerik police chief Zulkifli Mahmood said preliminary investigations revealed that the area was foggy at the time of the incident, which occurred at 2.50am. He also noted that the road lacked street lighting.
