Kafue, Zambia - An American tourist was killed and several others injured in an elephant attack at Kafue National Park in Zambia.

A total of six tourists were on the safari in Kafue, including the 80-year-old American woman, as reported by the Daily Mail.

The video shows the elephant first chasing the vehicle and then, when the driver suddenly stops, starting to attack.

It's not unusual for the huge quadrupeds to threaten an attack during such encounters, but it suddenly becomes clear that this time, it is not a mere threat.

Keith Vincent, the managing director of Wilderness Safaris, confirmed the death of the 80-year-old woman and said that another tourist was seriously injured and the other four were slightly injured.

According to him, the seriously injured man was taken to a private medical facility in South Africa, while the others were treated at a clinic.

"Our guides are all extremely well trained and experienced, but sadly, the terrain and vegetation was such that the guide's route became blocked," Vincent said of the terrible incident.

He reported that a helicopter had been sent to the accident and that both the police and the Department of National Parks & Wildlife were involved in the investigation of the incident.

He also assured that the deceased would be returned to the US.

"This is an extremely tragic event, and we extend our deepest condolences to the family of the guest who died," the Wilderness boss affirmed.
