The incident happened over the weekend and left her with non-life-threatening injuries to her leg. She was treated at the scene and later taken to a hospital, where she is expected to make a full recovery. Officials say this marks the fourth shark bite reported in Volusia County this year. | Experts note that New Smyrna Beach is a common location for shark encounters, often due to murky water and bait fish near the shore. While shark attacks are rare and usually not life-threatening, beachgoers are urged to take precautions. Authorities recommend avoiding the water at dawn or dusk, swimming in groups, and removing shiny jewelry that could catch a shark's attention. | |
