Colorado Teen Loses Leg in Shark Attack off Belize

A Colorado teen lost her leg in a shark attack while on vacation in Belize this week.

Fifteen-year-old Annabelle Carlson of Aspen was on a diving trip with her family near Half Moon Caye in the Gulf of Honduras when the attack happened Tuesday morning.

According to a GoFundMe page set up for Carlson’s family, the teen had finished scuba diving and jumped in for a swim when the “unimaginable encounter” with the “aggressive” shark occurred. Carlson fought off the animal but suffered critical injuries in the fight.
