JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA — A 22-year-old American woman was killed and another man seriously injured Monday, after they were both pulled through a car window by a lion at Gauteng Lion Park.
The two unidentified tourists were reportedly driving through the lion park with the windows open, the Daily Mail reports.
Lanseria police have launched an investigation into the incident, which was witnessed by other tourists at the park.
ENCA reports, one of the female lions jumped through the passenger window and bit the woman, while the unidentified man was injured when he tried to push the massive cat out of the vehicle.
By the time park staff and emergency responders reached the couple it was already too late. The woman succumbed to her injuries.
According to the Daily Mail, the fatal incident is the park’s third major attack in just four short months.
In March, Australian tourist, Brendan Smith was mauled by a lion and two days later a 13-year-old boy was attacked by a cheetah.
Although the park gives clear instructions to all visitors to keep windows closed when touring the area, Scott Simpson, assistant operations manager at the park told ENCA he doesn’t “understand why people think it’s okay to leave windows open.”
Park officials say they plan to put down the lion involved in the incident.

Shes stupid leave ur window open near lions is a great idea u will be perfectly safe and nothing bad can go wrong
I like how people act edgy in this comment section but if it was their family member they wouldn't act like that tbh 13 year olds
Tourist what else can you say. The Lions did nothing wrong. There Are Places on this planet where people don't belong.
Why has the lion had to die just because some stupid septic tanks can't follow the rules, it was only doing what it does
Show the tourists videos such as this just before the start of the safari
That should deter most except the most ant brained
Great work done by the lion
Whats funny is their characters emulate the humans spot on!! Mindless idiots!!!
Definitely do not harm the lion ,you should give him an award for eating the dumb asses with the window down,a car is like a lunch box on wheels for these big cats
That's a load of crap to put down the lion people follow the rules and you take risks in order to enjoy nature not the Lions fault that people did not follow instructions
