A Delaware County girl is on the mend after being bitten by a shark in Florida. It happened last month and she's now sharing her remarkable story of survival.
Magnolia Woodhead, a 12-year-old girl from Springfield, Delaware County, survived a shark bite during a family trip to Florida in the last week of June. Woodhead was swimming at Cocoa Beach when the shark bit her thigh. She needed 50 stitches. The attack is one of several that have been reported at Central Florida beaches in recent weeks.
The unidentified man, of Deland, was surfing at New Smyrna Beach around 3 p.m. on Friday when he was attacked by a shark, suffering injuries to his foot.
A spate of alligator and shark attacks across the US has triggered warnings that people are putting themselves at risk by encroaching on the predators territory.
