Brittany Clark of Orlando was swimming with friends near the Barr Street Trailhead in the Little Big Econ State Forest when a 13-foot alligator attacked her in the Econlockhatchee River. Her boyfriend and another friend pulled her to shore and CPR was started before first responders arrived. She was taken to a hospital as a trauma alert but died from her injuries on the way. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Seminole County Sheriff's Office, and a contracted nuisance alligator trapper responded to the scene, and a 13-foot alligator was harvested from the area.
