Polish man crushed by elephants in Oslo

From correspondents in Oslo
May 05, 2005
From: Agence France-Presse

A POLISH man was rushed to hospital by helicopter after being squashed between two elephants in Oslo, Norwegian media reported.

The 46-year-old animal keeper at the Arnardo circus, which is currently on tour in Norway, was reportedly building a fence around the circus tent when he was suddenly squeezed between the two giant mammals.
The man, who suffered serious injuries to his face and ribs as well as numerous fractures, was taken by helicopter to an Oslo hospital for treatment.

The circus was not expected to cancel any of its shows as a result of the accident.
