Fox News
A tourist at South Africa's Kruger National Park was trampled to death by an elephant as he was trying to protect children, officials say.
Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"Initial eyewitness accounts indicate that the family parked close to the Malelane reception area and children ran past the bridge into the bush whereupon an individual elephant from a nearby herd charged them. The deceased rushed to assist the children and that is when he was chased and trampled by one of the animals," the agency said. "He succumbed to his injuries on the scene."
"On the day of the incident, the animal responsible for the death could not be identified as there were several of them in the vicinity and they immediately moved away while people were trying to save the life of the deceased," it added.
