A French teenager is in a “very worrying” condition after being struck by lightning while at an outdoor youth camp, say local authorities.

The 15-year-old boy suffered a cardiac arrest and burns. He is in hospital in Tours, about 75 miles north of the recreation centre in Lathus-Saint-Rémy, central-west France.

Another two youths are in hospital and five more were hurt in Monday’s lightning strike.

Several are suffering from tinnitus.

The injured were among a group of 16 who had arrived for a week-long stay at the outdoor activities centre only that morning.
