Fishy knock-out
A US woman has been knocked unconscious by a flying fish.
Tara Spears was rushed to hospital after being struck by a leaping sturgeon while boating on Florida’s Suwannee River.
The 32-year-old is expected to make a full recovery.
It was not the first time the Suwannee River has been the scene of a sturgeon attack.
Earlier this year, a leaping sturgeon severely injured a 50-year-old woman, rupturing her spleen and leaving her missing a tooth and a little finger. Three of her fingers also had to be reattached.
Sturgeons are large fish with hard plates along their backs. They can grow up to 8ft long and weigh up to 200lbs.
