A US tourist was killed by an 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.

Wednesday’s incident marked the second fatal elephant attack on a US
tourist in Zambia this year: In March, another traveler was killed when an
elephant charged at their truck and flipped it over.

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