A German tourist has died after collapsing following a lightning strike at the Grand Canyon National Park.
Rangers said emergency medical responders performed CPR on but could not revive the 64-year-old woman, who was part of a visiting tour group.
Authorities said five other people in the group were treated for minor injuries after lightning hit the ground nearby, but apparently did not hit anyone.
The tour group was on the Arizona canyon’s South Rim when the bolt of electricity struck at about 1.45pm yesterday.
Authorities have not released the woman’s name.
Park rangers said it was unclear whether she suffered a heart attack.
