In the Highland Reserve Community of Palm City, Florida, an Amazon delivery driver remains in “serious condition” after she was bitten by a rattlesnake on Monday evening.
According to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, the driver walked to the door, placed the package down and was struck by the snake in the back of her leg just above the knee by an Eastern Diamondback which is a highly venomous snake.
Apparently the snake had been coiled up near the front door of the home when the delivery person arrived.
The driver became immediately ill and called 911. Dispatchers were sent to the victim’s location through cell phone GPS coordinates in order to provide help. The woman was transported to the hospital where she remains in serious condition.
Eastern Diamondbacks are very common in South Florida and can reach lengths to about seven feet.
