80-Year-Old American Woman Dies After Elephant Attacks During Safari Tour In Africa

An 80-year-old woman died tragically after a truck flipped during an elephant attack in Africa. According to TMZ, the woman who has yet to be identified, was on a safari Saturday in Zambia at the Kafue National Park.

Unfortunately, during the ride an elephant began to charge the truck, ramming it head-on. The elephant tipped the vehicle over while passengers continued screaming.

A Wilderness Safaris executive later confirmed that an American tourist had been killed in the attack and that another female guest had been seriously injured, and was flown to a hospital. The other passengers were treated for minor injuries.

The executive says the tour guide’s route was blocked by terrain and vegetation which prevented them from escaping the elephant in time.

“Y’all know elephants never forget a face! The way that elephant was running up on that safari truck, that elephant was ready to catch the fade. Leave those elephants alone and get out their space. They are tired of people and I don’t blame them!” someone commented.

“I am in no way laughing at her death but the way that elephant popped out like “I been looking for yo ass Karen” took me tf out,” another person wrote. “Mann I just can’t fuck with no wilderness !! They don’t understand no damn stop & they damn sure dnt give a damn!!! Staying my ass on the resort,” someone else shared.
