One Dead, Five Injured As Elephant Lands On Vehicle In Victoria Falls

One person has died and five others were injured after a Toyota Isis collided with a sub-adult elephant on Kazungula Road on Wednesday evening, about 40 kilometres from Victoria Falls.

Reports indicate that the driver was heading towards Victoria Falls City and tried to overtake a car that had stopped with its hazard lights on, not realising there was an elephant ahead.

The car hit the elephant, which then landed on the vehicle’s roof. The stopped car had pulled over to avoid hitting the same elephant.

The impact was so strong that it threw the Toyota about 100 metres into the bush, with the elephant still on top. All six people inside were trapped. Sadly, the front-seat passenger died at the scene.

The other five were injured, some more seriously than others, and were taken to a nearby hospital.

Rangers from Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management (ZimParks) had to put the injured elephant down so they could reach the person who had died in the wreckage.

Apawo hapadi physics kuziya kuti mota haina kukandwa 100m. mota haingakandwe neLoad yayakasenga bodo. Just say the obvious the car was speeding, and on impact the driver lost control and the vehicle veered off onto the bush only to stop 100m away from the point of impact

During the night vehicles that park by the roadside flash their hazard lights. They could be taking a recess, enjoying their bodies or even robbers waiting for prey. It's a tricky situation for the driver

While I'm not condoning reckless driving, he could have seen the front car as that of robbers and he wanted to avoid them.

Absolute rubbish. There are no robbers on the Kazungula road. Lots of night driving by drivers who have absolutely no idea of the consequences of driving toooo fast especially at night on the wildlife-filled Kaz Road.

The problem is that some people buy licences without even reading the highway code.They do not even understand the meaning of road signs and signals applied by other road users. Drive on any highway in Zimbabwe you will see motorists overtaking on bridges,curves,on doubles continuous line and even you on left side just because there is a potential passenger standing on the edge of the road.They do all sorts of dangerous things that you wonder if they appreciate the danger they put themselves and other road users.
