Picture Of The Day: Eagle Ray Attack In Fla.

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Here's one of Yahoo.com's most viewed pictures of the day.

A woman has died in a freak accident in the Florida Keys.

Jorge Pino, with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said a woman was on a boat with her family off Marathon, Fla. when an Eagle Ray jumped out of the water next to the vessel Thursday morning.

The animal reportedly struck the 55-year-old woman who fell backward and suffered a severe head trauma. She later died.

Initial reports had indicated that the animal's sharp defensive barb, located near the base of its tail, had lodged in the woman's neck.
