The incident happened after the plane pulled back from the gate and was taxiing out, airline officials told ESPN. The aircraft returned to the gate so the woman could be treated. The flight also happened to be carrying the Oregon State University men's basketball team, which was on its way back to Oregon after games in Los Angeles. Wayne Tinkle, Oregon State's head coach, tells ESPN the scorpion situation occurred just two rows in front of him. "The plane was coming from Mexico before us, and [the scorpion] was on the plane,'' Tinkle tells ESPN's Andy Katz. "The woman was a real champ. She acted like it was a mosquito bite. They got it off her but the needle was stuck." Tinkle's account mirrored other eyewitness descriptions.
