A circus elephant that escaped and was hit by a sport utility vehicle in northwestern Oklahoma is apparently back with its owner.
An Oklahoma State University spokesman says the elephant was treated by veterinarians at the school and released to its owner. Spokesman Gary Shutt declined to talk about the animal's injuries except to say they were not major.
A report filed by Enid police says Douglas Terranova of Kaufman, Texas, is the elephant's owner. Terranova did not immediately return a phone message left Friday.
Deb Robinson, a volunteer for the animal rights group In Defense of Animals, says the group plans to file a complaint against Terranova with the U.S. Department of Agriculture concerning Wednesday's incident.
A USDA complaint says two elephants owned by Terranova escaped from a circus in Kansas in June 2008.
