A young boy who was hiking in Mount Diablo State Park with family Wednesday was rushed to John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek after apparently being bitten by a rattlesnake, authorities said.
Officials with the state park said the 7-year-old boy was hiking with his family of five through Mitchell Canyon in Mt. Diablo State Park Wednesday afternoon when the incident occured.
"We have a juvenile who was out with his family, just a great time to be out in the park. They were walking through the grass and he felt something kind of hit his lower leg. Basically his mom was right behind him and she was able to take care of him and then brought him down into the parking lot," said Mt. Diablo State Park Ranger Cameron Morison.
The boy was flown by CHP helicopter to John Muir Hospital for treatment for what appeared to be a rattlesnake bite.
