22-year-old Jessica Vaughn was bitten by a bull shark while swimming in the Intracoastal Waterway near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Sunday.
Vaughn had to overcome her fears to join friends on the tubing / swimming excursion. "I've always had feelings of something down under there," she said, "because of the dark murky waters."
Her friends entered the water 30 minutes prior to Vaughn getting in. She was in the water for only about 30 seconds before the shark chomped into her leg. The shark then lifted its tail out of the water and smacked Vaughn in the face
She was helped out of the water by her friends who then applied pressure to the crescent shaped wound. A nearby resident called 911 when she overheard screams coming from the dock. Emergency personnel picked her up and rushed her into surgery.
Fort Lauderdale's Fire Rescue posted gruesome pictures of the aftermath to their Twitter account.
Authorities credit her friends' fast actions for saving Vaughn's life. She is expected to be released from the hospital within a few days.
Vaughn does not have health insurance but a Go Fund Me account has been set up to help raise money to cover her medical expenses.
