A US tourist was killed by elephant in Zambia Wednesday that pulled her from her tour group’s vehicle and trampled her, local officials said.
Juliana Gle Tourneau, 64, of New Mexico, was with a group that had stopped near the Maramba Cultural Bridge in Livingstone due to traffic from an elephant herd when one of the animals attacked, Southern Province Police Commissioner Auxensio Daka told the Zambian broadcaster ZNBC.
The elephant tossed Tourneau out of the group’s vehicle and trampled her to death.

Local authorities have cautioned visitors to exercise caution when observing wildlife.
