CUMBERLAND COUNTY GIRL BITTEN BY COPPERHEAD IN OBED RIVER PARK
Snakes are roaming everywhere these days as summer approaches. Authorities are advising citizens to be on the lookout for snakes as they spend more time outdoors. A 15 year old girl was bitten by what appeared to be a copperhead today as she walked in Obed River Park just outside Crossville. The girl’s mother was with her in the park and snapped a picture of the snake before it slithered into the woods. The young girl was rushed to CMC where it was determined it was a “dry bite” and no venom was released from the snake. (ACTUAL PICTURE)
