Nagammal was trampled by the lone elephant in the estate in Kothagiri last evening and admitted to the government hospital here after being treated at a Mettupalayam hospital. She succumbed to her injuries in the wee hours today, police said.
She was plucking tea leaves along with other workers when the elephant ran towards them. While the others managed to run to safety, Nagammal was stranded in front of the pachyderm which lifted her with its trunk and trampled her.
