He has urged visitors to remain vigilant and keep a safe distance from the animals, especially the big five.

 

"The elephant reportedly pushed the vehicle with his tusks and rolled the car onto its side and then roof with passengers still inside.

 

“Park officials responded to the incident and rescued the family and fortunately there were no severe injuries. The family is believed to be from Mtunzini in  KZN.”
