MISSISSIPPI - Four elephants in Mississippi had an accident on their way to work, CNN reports.

The elephants, a part of the Coleman Brothers Circus of the Stars, were in a trailer attached to a truck when  the driver ran of the road in Mississippi.

Officials said the elephants were shaken up and scared. One had to be kept in a trailer because it was so upset.

But thankfully, they weren't hurt. The elephants were headed to a performance in Hammond, Louisiana.

The elephants are reportedly worth $6 million combined.
