This morning at around 9 AM, Ethan Fulton, 17, was surfing with some friends near the jetty in New Smyrna Beach when he was bitten on the right foot, according to the News Journal Online.
Fulton’s friends tried taking him to the hospital, but then thought better of it and called for an ambulance. EVAC ambulance paramedics met the teen at Sapphire Road and North Peninsula Avenue. . . . Fulton was treated at the scene and then taken to Bert Fish Medical Center in stable condition, O’Keefe said. The bite was serious enough that Fulton was still in surgery early this afternoon.
For those keeping track at home, this is number 15 for Volusia County this year. Last year there were only 17 bites all year.
