PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico (KABC) — An Orange County couple says they tried to save a tourist from a deadly crocodile attack in Puerto Vallarta on Friday.
A local newspaper obtained images of the crocodile believed to be responsible for the attack.
Chris Bury and his partner Jamie Yetter, who are both from San Clemente, said they had just finished a beach walk and were heading for the swimming pool when they heard screams coming from the beach.
The couple said they rushed to the beach and saw the man — identified only as a 28-year-old named Irving from Mexico City — being attacked in the water by the crocodile and dragged out to sea.
“It’s pretty traumatizing,” Bury said.
