An 80-year-old American woman has been killed while on safari in Zambia after an elephant charged at her car and flipped it over several times.
She was part of a group of six tourists staying at the luxurious Lufupa Camp in the country’s Kafue National Park, the largest game reserve in Africa, with a tour company called Wilderness – Zambia.
The group were out on a photography tour last weekend when the incident happened.

It was the drive for fault. He had to stop why I do not know it was his fault.
The elephant wasn't hungry for hay. Maybe if the guide had shouted "Oats, oats, oats". Or "apple, apple, apple" a tragedy would have been avoided.
Why do people record vertically????
This seems to be the lesson of this century. Mind your own damn business! Don't bother animals, don't bother each other. when asked to leave someone alone, LEAVE THEM ALONE.
Nature is sick of them too.
Its the fault of invasive humans, as usual. But theyll blame it on the elephants.
What kind of idiot would stop
And the problem is????
Trunk around and find out…🐘
Where was Alec Baldwin ????
Elephants fighting white supremacy!!!
Sadly they won't be missed.
Idiot driver stopped and enabled the attack
In our capitalist society elephants are forced to work for peanuts. A revolution is to be expected.
The elephant is smarter than the driver.
Driver thinks "I have driven far enough the elephant will stop "
Elephant thinks " If I keep chasing him long enough eventually he will stop"
If I were in the vehicle, there would have been some serious and loud cursing at the driver for stopping. What the hell. I guess they could sue the driver out of his life savings of $6.50.
A minor injury miles from nowhere, miles from ANY medical facility–IN AFRICA……….poor outcome guaranteed.
Killed or hospitalized???
Lived 80 years to be killed by an elephant! Stay home with your old arse!
Esses guias não andam armados? A arma de fogo é sempre o último recurso, mas em uma situação dessas se ela não é utilizada, então deixa de ser o último recurso para ser um adereço corporal.
Uhm why yell at the elephant? Like that's going to do anything.
Her name was Gil Matton
Why did he stop
Poor elephants. I feel ya mate, tired of these humans!
If the road ahead was not good & if he's a regular on that road, he should know about it. Initially he had time to turn around & go in the direction from where he came. Stopping the vehicle is the stupidest thing to do
Good…. Leave those animals alone.
