Lion Kills American Woman In South African Wildlife Park

An American killed in a lion attack at Lion Park in
South Africa was dragged to her death in mere
minutes. The unidentified 22-year-old woman
was dragged to her death and another person
seriously hurt after the pair left their window
down during the drive-thru African safari.
The woman was dragged out of the SUV by the
lioness and her companion was injured as he tried to
save her from the lion's jaws at Gauteng Lion Park
near Johannesburg.
This incident happened in the middle of the
afternoon.
It's believed she had been trying to take pictures with
the windows open when the lion attacked.
Police confirmed that she was 22 years old and an
American citizen and the US Embassy confirmed the
incident has been reported to them.
The park's manager Scott Simpson said: 'We don't
know exactly what happened, we do know that there
was a car driving to the lion camp and the lion did
come through the window and it did bite the lady.
'Unfortunately the ambulance arrived quite soon but
the lady has passed away.'
It is believed that the lion jumped through the
window, bit the woman, and a man was injured
trying to pull the lion off her, although the park are
still trying to piece together the exact sequence of
events.
They have now identified the lioness responsible for
the attack and confirmed that they've put her in a
separate enclosure but say there are no plans as yet
to destroy the animal.
The Park's manager said they don't have any intention
to put the Lioness down because they have huge
signs in the park warning tourists to keep their
windows closed but will review its safety measures.
