"Safari Tragedies: Fatal Encounters with Elephants in Africa"
A 79-year-old woman, Gail Mattson, who split her time between Arizona and Minnesota, was killed by an elephant during an African safari in Zambia. The elephant charged the vehicle she was in, causing it to flip over. Gail's daughter described her as a strong and healthy woman who loved to travel, and the safari was meant to be her last big vacation. Four other people were treated for minor injuries, and a fifth person was taken to a medical facility in South Africa.
