DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES - HATCHER NEARLY CRUSHED BY ELEPHANTS

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star TERI HATCHER feared for her life when she was caught up in an elephant stampede on a recent safari holiday.

Hatcher and her seven-year-old daughter EMERSON were travelling through the bush in Kenya, Africa when she when their quick-thinking guide abandoned the road to save their lives.

The former JAMES BOND girl found herself thrust into the depths of the African jungle to avoid the elephant and credits the robust Jeep for saving their lives.

She says, "I thought we'd be run down, if our Jeep had stalled we would be dead for sure."
