Two tourists killed in elephant charge

Two British tourists died when an elephant charged them in western Zimbabwe, the British embassy in Harare said on Monday.

A third injured Briton was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The identities of the tourists was being withheld until their families were informed.

No further details were made available.

The Britons were on a game-viewing trip in the Hwange National Park on Saturday. Elephants are the animal second most dangerous to man in Zimbabwe, after crocodiles.
