Two patients have very serious injuries, but the patients are in stable condition, a senior doctor said Friday.
Eight people were initially taken to hospital Thursday night after being struck when lightning struck a tree near a youth soccer practice.
– There were a number of young people under this tree, and several of them were struck by lightning, said Barry Levis, rescue leader on the spot.
Lightning strikes are very dangerous if they strike people. Most people who die from lightning do so from dehydration from burns to the skin rather than damage when current is passed through the heart, brain or other organs.
