Shark Bites Woman at Florida Beach!

Jennifer Castion received some nice lacerations to both sides of her lower right calf at about 11 a.m. Friday, when she was attacked by a shark while wading in chest-deep water at Fernandina Beach, FL.

Jennifer said she felt something grab her leg… after a struggle, it let her leg go.

Once ashore, her husband wrapped her leg in a towel, took her to the nearby beach house they were staying at and called 911.

She was flown via air ambulance to Shands Jacksonville hospital.

Florida’s Flag Warning System is in place and “Dangerous Conditions” and “Dangerous Marine Life” flags are flying high.
