A story about an American woman who was attacked by a venomous snake that suddenly fell from the sky while mowing the lawn and narrowly escaped danger with the help of a hawk has become a hot topic.

On the 9th (local time), CNN and others introduced an incident experienced by Peggy Jones (64), who lives in Texas in the southern United States, on the 25th of last month. Jones was mowing the lawn in her yard that afternoon when she was suddenly attacked by a snake. She said, "A snake suddenly fell on my arm from the clear blue sky."

After falling on Jones, the snake immediately coiled around her forearm. Startled, Jones tried to shake the snake off, but the snake only tightened its grip and then attacked Jones's face. Jones said, "The snake hit my face, and my glasses were hit several times during the attack."

Jones estimated the snake's length to be about 4.5 feet (approximately 1.4 meters). She screamed for help amid the snake's continuous attacks, but since there were few people around, no one was able to assist her.

Then, a hawk suddenly flew in from somewhere and snatched the snake attacking Jones, rapidly changing the situation. Because the snake was so tightly coiled around her forearm, the hawk succeeded in grabbing the snake after 3 to 4 attacks.

Jones said, "Just as the snake suddenly appeared, the hawk also suddenly appeared," and "The hawk pulled the snake that was wrapped around my arm."

During this process, Jones's forearm was scratched by the hawk's talons and her skin turned red from the snake's attack, causing injuries. Jones said, "If you've ever been cut, imagine ten times that pain," and described it as "an indescribable pain." She believes the hawk dropped the snake, which was its prey, from the air and then caught it again.

The snake that fell on Jones was identified as a venomous snake. This was confirmed because venom was detected on the broken surface of her glasses caused by the snake's attack. Fortunately, Jones did not show any symptoms related to the venom.

Jones said, "I am quite a strong person," and added, "I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to say that I survived being attacked by both a snake and a hawk."
