Woman Bitten by Shark While Swimming Off California Beach
On 4 November 2022, 50-year-old Lyn Jutronich was swimming off Del Mar Beach, California, when a juvenile great white shark attacked her. She felt a hard impact between her legs before seeing the shark clamp onto her right thigh and shake once before letting go.
