Lightning Hits 91 Spectators at a Racetrack

It happened in Flisa, Norway. All the auto racing fans were at a racetrack in Norway on Sunday. A lightning bolt struck 91 of the people and 45 were taken to the hospital with minor burns. It was lucky that no one was seriously injured. The lightning hit a hill where spectators at the rallycross were sitting. Rallycross is a form of sprint-style automobile racing on a closed circuit. The race was a national championship and it was called off after the lightning hit.
