CASCO (AP) — Authorities say a New Hampshire woman has been injured in a lightning strike at a Maine resort.
The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said 25-year-old Erin Ledoux was watching the storm roll in Sunday afternoon at the Point Sebago Resort in Casco.
Officials said Ledoux, who is from Nashua, and two other people had been standing near a pine tree along the edge of Sebago Lake when the tree was struck by lightning.
The strike reportedly sent Ledoux and the other two airborne.
Authorities said Ledoux landed on some rocks and a concrete barrier at the water’s edge and was knocked unconscious.
The sheriff’s office said she was taken to a hospital where she’s in stable condition.
The other two were not injured.
