A huge bull elk charged towards a vehicle full of people forcing them to reverse in fear.

The group were driving through Estes Park, Colorado, USA, on September 24.

The large animal is seen charging towards the vehicle as the passengers scream in panic.

A passenger can be heard asking the driver to "back up the car."

Kenna Harke, who filmed the video, said: "[This is a] typical Saturday getting charged by a bull elk in Estes Park."
