Several passengers were injured when a bus hit an elephant crossing a busy highway along a national park in Kenya, local media are reporting.

The elephant died on the spot, while the injured people were taken for treatment at a nearby hospital.

The bus is said to have been travelling from the coastal city of Mombasa to the capital, Nairobi, on Saturday night when the accident happened along the Tsavo National Park, which straddles both sides of the highway.

Local residents are said to have scrambled for the elephant meat following the accident, resulting in chaos, the Nation newspaper reports.

Rangers and officials of the Kenya Wildlife Service later arrived at the scene to defuse the situation.
