Circus elephant falls killing Australian handler
SYDNEY (Reuters) - An elephant toppled out of a truck and killed a circus worker in Australia on Thursday, police said.
"The man was killed, crushed to death, while the elephant was being offloaded from a truck," a spokeswoman for the New South Wales police department said.
The Stardust Circus, with elephants Arna and Gigi among the star attractions, was setting up for a performance at Yamba, a town on Australia's mid-east coast.
An ambulance spokesman said the man had been crushed by the elephant and suffered a fatal cardiac arrest at the scene.
Local television said the victim had been Arna's handler for the past two years.
