A Watkinsville man had a frightening encounter with a possibly rabid fox on Wednesday after the fox attacked the man while he was trapped under an overturned 4-wheeler.

The fox’s head was taken to a Georgia Department of Public Health facility to test for rabies, according to Oconee County Animal Control Director Catlyn Vickers.

The attack occurred about 1:40 p.m. at the victim’s farm on Hog Mountain Road, according to Vickers.
