Brittany Clark, a 31-year-old hiker, has been identified as the victim of a fatal alligator attack in Central Florida on Sunday. Clark, her boyfriend Chance Allison, and a friend had been hiking in the Little Big Econ State Forest when they decided to cool off in the Econlockhatchee River, where an alligator attacked Clark, tearing off both her arms. A new medical examiner’s report has revealed that Allison sprang into action during the attack, fighting the gator and managing to pry his girlfriend from its jaws, but it was too late. Allison told 911 operators that the situation was “bad, real bad” and urged responders to “please hurry... she’s losing a lot of...” before his voice trailed off. The trio had been kneeling in about three feet of water and the attack appeared random and unprovoked, according to an officer from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The nightmare assault is the third alligator attack in Central Florida in the last week.
