Woman struck by lightning suffers minor injuries
05/11/2017
A WOMAN struck by lightning in the Greater Madrid region has escaped with only minor injuries and did not even have to go to hospital, according to paramedics who attended to her at the scene.
She was asleep in her villa in the town of Villaviciosa de Odón at the time – around 01.00 yesterday (Saturday) morning when a bolt of lightning shot down her chimney.
The metal flashing conducted the lightning, drawing it to her roof.
It went straight into her bedroom and left her with multiple cuts and bruises.
Emergency services were called out to assist a 65-year-old woman on the El Bosque urbanisation and medics who arrived in a SUMMA ambulance attended her at her home.
She did not need any further treatment, despite the dramatic nature of her ordeal.
