A 72-year-old woman was transported to the hospital Tuesday morning, after being bitten by a rattlesnake in front of her home in Sahuarita.
The woman was stepping onto her front porch in the 15000 block of Rancho Resort, when she was bitten. The snake was coiled in a pile of leaves near the front door, according to a social media post from Santa Rita Fire District.
Emergency crews treated her at the scene, then transported the woman to Banner University Medical Center, where she is in stable condition, the post said. No other injuries were reported and the scene was quickly contained.
