Florida Woman Injured By Leaping Sturgeon
This recent injury of a woman by a leaping sturgeon is just the latest case of people being injured by jumping sturgeon on the Suwannee River.
Tara Spears was knocked out cold by a sturgeon while boating the Suwannee River in florida, just north of Rock Bluff. She was taken to the hospital and received treatment for non life threatening injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.
Tara was lucky! Earlier in the year another woman riding a personal water craft was also hit by a leaping sturgeon while riding a personal watercraft. The 50 year old St Petersburg woman was severely injured. She suffered broken bones, a ruptured spleen and had to have three of her fingers reattached! She made a full recovery, but suffered the loss of a tooth and a pinkie finger.
