Seven people were taken by paramedics to a hospital and
reported to be in stable condition after being injured in the
strike at Raymond James Stadium, where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
had played the Green Bay Packers, said Jason Penny, spokesman
for Tampa Fire Rescue.
Another four or five people decided to go to the hospital on
their own, he said.
“It appeared that no one person had gotten struck by lightning,
they were just near a lightning strike that knocked some of the
people down,” Penny said.
One person lost consciousness but regained it before paramedics
arrived, he said.
