Alligator stops traffic near Tanger Outlet
An injured alligator stopped traffic in south Fort Myers Monday morning. A Lee County deputy spotted the eight-foot gator in the middle of Summerlin Road, just east of the Tanger Outlets. The deputy said it appeared that a car struck the alligator.
Tracy Hansen, a Florida Fish and Wildlife trapper, said it's common to come across gators because it's mating season. "The main time is during the night - that's their main activity time," he said.
The gator was seriously injured when trappers arrived on scene, and had to be put down.
