The victim's husband says "everything happened so fast." Ned Uber tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the tourists all tried to run around a tree -- but that the elephant was too fast for them.

It took nearly an hour to get Heather Uber out of the wildlife park, and another two hours to get her to the nearest hospital. She died shortly after arriving at the hospital.

The Ubers were in Cameroon visiting their daughter -- who is a member of the Peace Corps.
