A US tourist from New Mexico was killed by an elephant, after it attacked her vehicle while parked during a safari drive in Zambia on Wednesday. This marks the second fatal elephant attack on a US tourist in the southern African country this year. During the March incident, an elephant charged the truck, flipped it over, killed Ms Mattson and injured five others. Video of the attack later went viral and showed an elephant charging towards the vehicle. Zambia's neighbours Zimbabwe and Botswana have also raised concern about increasing elephant populations in their respective countries.
