Chinese tour guide He Yongjie was attacked by two elephants and trampled to death on Thursday afternoon after saving a woman's life in Pattaya, Thailand.
Two Chinese tourists were also injured in the accident.
According to eyewitnesses, He and several members of the group, all from Chongqing, were waiting in the parking lot at around 5 pm outside the Golden Triangle Fruit Garden, a tourist spot where people can ride on elephants. Suddenly, two elephants rushed down the ramp and into the parking lot with their trainers still on their backs. The animals attacked a Chinese woman, Lai Tianli, a member of He's tour group.
