As informs The Telegraph that the incident happened during a photo tour in the National Park. An adult elephant approached the car with six tourists. Later, he started chasing the car, which was speeding away. At some point, the animal overtook the car and overturned it twice.

The chief executive officer of Wilderness Zambia, which organized the group’s vacation, explained that the tragic meeting with the elephant could not be avoided due to the peculiarity of the terrain.

“All of our guides are extremely well trained and experienced, but unfortunately in this case the terrain and vegetation were such that the guide’s route was blocked and he was unable to move the vehicle out of harm’s way quickly enough.” – he noted.
