The 77-year-old was riding a hired scooter in Tiger Valley in southern Tamil Nadu state on Tuesday evening when the agitated elephant attacked him on a hilly forest road, tossing the tourist into the woods.
“The elephant attacked him and he died on the way to a local hospital,“ the officer told AFP.
Local media reported that the tourist continued driving towards the wild elephant despite warnings by travellers who were waiting for the animal pass -- and honked loudly to drive it away.
India has an estimated 30,000 wild Asian elephants.
