JOHANNESBURG-- Zambian officials say a U.S. traveler has actually been eliminated by an elephant in the city of Livingstone, the 2nd such attack in the country this year. Local authorities stated that 64-year-old Juliana Gle Tourneau was killed on Wednesday when an elephant that was part of a herd the tourists were enjoying attacked their lorry, tossed Tourneau out and stomped her. It is the 2nd such attack this year after another American tourist was killed in March this year during a video game drive in a Zambian national park when an elephant charged a truck, turned it over, eliminated the traveler and injured 5 others.
