Snake Bite Puts Logan Woman In Intensive Care

{Logan, West Virginia}...Tara Williams, 21, of Logan, was hunting in Ritchie County nearly three weeks ago when she stepped on a copperhead which wrapped around her leg and bit her twice. Williams was driven to a hospital in Parkersburg and then rushed by ambulance to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown where she has undergone several surgeries and had to have her leg opened to relieve the swelling and pressure. Williams was put on a ventilator Tuesday night and remains in intensive care. The city of Logan is accepting donations for the family and for Williams’ medical expenses.
