On June 19, American tourist Juliana Gle Tourneau, 64, was killed by an elephant in Zambia. The tourist was taken from the stopped safari vehicle by the elephant.

This occurred in the Zambian city of Livingstone. The American tourist was from New Mexico, and she was passing the time with her group near the Maramba Cultural Bridge.

Ms. Tourneau was “knocked from a parked vehicle which had stopped due to traffic caused by elephants around the Maramba Cultural Bridge,” the Southern Province Police Commissioner Auxensio Daka reportedly said to ZNBC.

Then, the tourist was “trampled” by one of the elephants from the herd.

This tragedy is the second one this year. Only two months ago, a different elephant in Kafue National Parked charged a safari group. A 79-year-old American, Gail Mattson, was killed in the attack.

In the March accident, the elephant charged the truck, it flipped over, injured five people and killed Ms. Mattson.

There is speculation that this safari vehicle was in an area where the animal needed more space to be able to eat without stress. As humans develop more land, less of it is available to the wildlife populations, and this creates dangerous situations.

Video of this attack went viral. It shows an elephant running at the vehicle. The passengers aren’t visible; but, there is audio of someone yelling and panic stricken. The video can be found below. There is a second video of another elephant attack in South Africa.

The Zambian government has asked visitors to be extremely cautious while watching wildlife. Neighboring countries, like Zimbabwe and Botswana are seeing an increase in elephant populations.
