Thursday was not the perfect day for swimming for Debbie Shoemaker of Toledo, Ohio. As she was enjoying a bath in Treasure Island waters, near the city of St. Petersburg she had the unpleasant surprise to have a pelican crashing into her cheek. The bird was apparently diving for fish.
Following the unprecedented incident, she was immediately taken to a local hospital where doctors needed 20 stitches to close the gash in her face, the Associated Press reported.
