Alligator Attack in Florida River | Sacramento News
Description
A 31-year-old woman, Brittany Clark, was fatally attacked by a 13-foot alligator while swimming in the Econlockhatchee River in Florida. Her boyfriend and friend pulled her to safety, but she died en route to the hospital. DNA confirmed the gator was the attacker, and it was later captured and killed alongside another large alligator nearby. Authorities say the group did nothing to provoke the attack — they were simply enjoying nature. While alligator attacks are rare, especially this severe, the incident serves as a sobering reminder of the risks in freshwater habitats where humans and wildlife intersect.
