Teen in good condition after Utah lightning strike


LAS VEGAS (AP) — A hospital official in Las Vegas says a teenager is in good condition after being struck by lightning a week ago outside his Utah high school. University Medical Center spokeswoman Danita Cohen said Tuesday that 16-year-old Christopher Dane Zdunich has been upgraded from serious condition, and he could be sent home within the next few days.

Cohen says 17-year-old Alexander Lambson remains in serious condition.

Parents of the teens plan to talk with reporters at the hospital.

Both victims were taken to the Las Vegas trauma center and placed on life support after being hit by a bolt of lightning on Oct. 5 in Santa Clara, Utah.
