Body Cam Video Shows Florida Deputies Responding to Alligator Attack that Killed 31-Year-Old Woman
Released 911 calls and bodycam show deputies rushing to Brittany Clark after an alligator attack that killed her on the way to the hospital.
- Bodycam footage from the Seminole County Sheriff shows a deputy rushing through a swampy area to the Econlockhatchee River, where 31-year-old Brittany Clark of Orlando had been attacked by an alligator.
- Clark was swimming in about 3 feet of water with her boyfriend, Chance Allison, and friends when the alligator attacked; Allison attempted to pull her from the animal's mouth before she died en route to the hospital.
- Multiple 911 calls released Monday detailed the frantic response, with a witness reporting, "Both her arms are dislocated," describing the severity of Clark's injuries during the violent encounter.
- Friends established a GoFundMe page to transport Clark's remains to California, where she is remembered as an outgoing, avid bike rider; the page describes the tragedy as a "completely bizarre accident."
- The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports a statewide drought has lowered water levels in the Econlockhatchee River area, though alligators can quickly disappear, increasing risks for swimmers.
