Grieving boyfriend describes desperate bid to save girlfriend from 13-foot Florida alligator attack

Chance Allison, Brittany Clark’s bulldozer-operator boyfriend, described his disbelief after Clark was killed when a 13-foot alligator dragged her under while they swam in the Econlockhatchee River in Seminole County, Florida. He fought to wrench her free as a roommate watched, and 911 audio described horrific injuries; authorities said Clark died from multiple upper-extremity injuries. Wildlife officials captured a 13-foot alligator and a 12.5-foot gator nearby and killed them, while the FWC noted Clark did not provoke the attack. Allison is arranging a “celebration of life” in her honor.

911 calls capture frantic moments in fatal Florida river alligator attack

A 31-year-old Orlando woman died after being bitten by a large alligator while swimming in the Econlockhatchee River near the Barr Street Trailhead in Little Big Econ State Forest. Frantic 911 calls described severe injuries as a boyfriend tried to pull her from the gator; she died en route to the hospital. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission later harvested two alligators (13 ft and 12 ft) and closed the Barr Street Trailhead as investigators worked; DNA analysis will determine which gator was responsible. The incident occurs amid ongoing nuisance alligator management in Florida.
