Like A Sturgeon…

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

A sturgeon jumped out of the Suwannee River and hit a woman riding a water scooter causing some serious injuries.

Sharon Touchton, 50, of St. Petersburg, suffered a ruptured spleen and had to have three fingers reattached by surgeons, but she lost her left pinkie finger and a tooth. Her fingers had been ripped off by the sturgeon’s bony plate. They were hanging by a strip of flesh. Ew.

She was taken by helicopter to Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville, where surgeons did their best to mend her injuries.

Thanks Jason
