A Connecticut woman is in serious condition in a Turks and Caicos hospital after a shark bit off one of her legs, officials announced Wednesday.
The woman, 22, had been snorkeling with a friend off the coast of the Turks and Caicos islands when the shark attacked her, the Royal Turks and Caicos Police said on social media.
The attack happened in the waters outside the Blue Haven Resort on the island of Providenciales, part of Turks and Caicos.
An employee of the resort called for an ambulance around 3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, and during the call, they indicated the “victim had her leg bitten off by a shark,” law enforcement said on Instagram.
The woman was transported to Cheshire Hall Medical Centre on Providenciales.
The total number of shark attacks around the world is “extremely low” when considering how many people swim or do activities in the ocean each year, the Florida Museum of Natural History says.
