This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Texas woman is rattled but recovering after being viciously attacked by a snake and a hawk at the same time.
Peggy Jones, 64, was mowing her lawn with her husband at around 8pm in the evening on 25 July in Silsbee, Texas – less than an hour from the Louisiana border – when a large snake fell from the sky and landed on her.
The snake, which had been dropped by a hawk, wrapped itself around her arm – and was then promptly joined by the hawk, which was keen to retrieve its lunch, and began to attack Jones, the local community newspaper The Silsbee Bee reported.
All the while, the snake was striking her in the face, causing her eyeglasses to chip and spewing a liquid she assumes was venom, Jones recalled.
Jones said the hawk retreated and returned to its prey about four times, slapping her in the face with its wings.
Jones was crying and running towards him in a zigzag pattern, her arm bloodied with stab wounds from the hawk’s talons.
