An Amazon delivery driver is hospitalized in "very serious condition" after she was bitten by a highly venemous rattlesnake while dropping off a package in Florida, authorities said Tuesday.
The Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake was "coiled" by the front door of the Palm City home when the driver came to make the delivery, the Martin County Sheriff's office said in a social media post on Tuesday. As the driver was walking towards the door to put the package down, she "was struck by the snake in the back of the leg, just above the knee," the statement said.
She immediately became ill and called 911. Dispatchers were able to use GPS coordinates to locate the driver and send an ambulance to take her to the hospital, officials said. The woman's name and age were not released.
