American Tourist Fatally Attacked by Elephant on Zambian Safari

An elderly American woman was killed and another person injured when a charging elephant flipped over the car they were traveling in at Kafue National Park in Zambia. The incident occurred during a game drive, and the tour operator, Wilderness, described the elephant as "aggressive." The victim's daughter identified her as Gail Mattson, and the company stated that her body would be repatriated to the U.S. The park, Zambia's largest, is known for its untamed wildlife, and the exact cause of the woman's death remains unclear.
