German Tourist Killed by Elephant After Ignoring Warnings in India

The 77-year-old man was fatally attacked in a wildlife reserve in Tamil Nadu after approaching the animal on his motorcycle.

The incident occurred in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu, India, where the tourist was traveling on a rented motorcycle.
The man ignored warnings from other drivers and forest staff about an elephant blocking the road and attempted to pass the animal.
The elephant attacked the tourist twice, knocking him off his motorcycle and later inflicting fatal injuries with its tusks.
Eyewitnesses reported that the elephant was provoked by the tourist's close approach, leading to the deadly encounter.
The man was transported to two hospitals but succumbed to his injuries hours after the attack, with officials attributing the tragedy to his decision to disregard safety warnings.
