BREAKING NEWS: ELEPHANT BULL TACKLES TOURISTS' VEHICLE AT PHALABORWA GATE

Bulletin received these images from a source who alleged that at some time during this afternoon, an elephant bull charged and impaled a tourist vehicle just inside the Kruger National Park at the Phalaborwa gate.

We have asked SANParks for comment and will update this report with information once received.

The tourists are believed to be from Iran and are staying the night at a lodge in Phalaborwa. We believe that none of them were hurt.

It is not clear whybthe animal charged the vehicle or what happened to it after the incident.

We await response on the matter.
