Three tourists escaped unhurt when an elephant flipped their car on the banks of the Sable Dam in the Kruger National Park yesterday.
Sanpark's William Mabasa says the three were on their way to the Letaba rest camp at the time of the incident.
He said the elephant was drinking water and then crossed the dam and attacked the tourists in their car parked on the other side.
It turned the car onto its roof but became distracted when another car approached and headed into the bushes.
The tourists claimed the elephant had not shown any signs of agitation prior to the incident.
Mabasa said over 1.5 million people visit the game reserve each year and incidents of this sort are rare.
