Three Concert Goers Struck By Lightning

Compiled From Wire Services

Three people were hospitalized Sunday, one in critical condition, after being struck by lightning during a thunderstorm while waiting outside RFK Stadium for a Grateful Dead/ Bob Dylan concert to begin.

The woman and two men were hit while sitting in a tree during the storm and were transported to local hospitals.

The unidentified woman, said to be in her 20s, was in critical condition.

She was found in cardiac arrest underneath the tree and was revived after receiving CPR first from other concert goers, then firefighters, then paramedics.

The two men, whose names also were not immediately released by authorities, were in stable condition with no life-threatening injuries.

The concert began as scheduled at 6 p.m. Sunday.
