SUN CITY HILTON HEAD, S.C. —
A woman was bitten by an alligator near her home Monday night in Hilton Head, according to David Lucas, with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
It happened in Sun City, which is a retirement community.
Lucas said a 68-year-old woman was walking her dog about 10 p.m. near her house, which is near several ponds. He said the 8- 9 foot-long gator bit the woman on the wrist and leg. The woman was taken to the hospital.
The dog was not armed, Lucas said.
“These types of incidents are extremely rare," Lucas said.
An alligator control agent was called in and the gator was captured and euthanized.
