A woman was trampled to death by wild elephants in Jharkhand's Latehar district, Forest Department officials said on Friday.

A wild elephant and her calf after straying into the area, suddenly attacked Malida, killing her on the spot, they added.
The two women accompanying her, however, managed to escape.
