Bodycam video shows moments after Florida Amazon driver was bitten by rattlesnake
By: New bodycam video released by the Martin County Sheriff's Office captured the moments after an Amazon delivery driver was bitten by a "highly venomous" rattlesnake in Florida.
The incident occurred Monday evening as the driver was delivering a package in Palm City.
Bodycam footage shows a Martin County deputy rendering aid as the 21-year-old driver sat on the sidewalk.
"Here's what we're going to do, I'm going to loosen this up, because we don't want any kind of constriction," the deputy said.
In a Facebook post, the Martin County Sheriff's Office said when she bent down to drop off the package, an eastern diamondback rattlesnake coiled near the front door bit her on her upper thigh.
According to the post, the driver immediately became ill and called out for help.
She was then taken to a local hospital, where she's now listed in critical, but stable condition.
