According to the fire department, no other people have reported any symptoms following the lightning strike that injured several people on the banks of the Elbe in Dresden. "During the initial operation, another bolt of lightning struck on the opposite bank," said fire department spokesman Michael Klahre on Tuesday in Dresden. After the accident on Monday evening, it could not be ruled out that other people were affected and subsequently fled. Accordingly, the fire department asked the public to consult a doctor immediately if they experienced symptoms such as a racing heart, heart palpitations, numbness or tingling in the extremities.
Ten people were injured, some of them seriously, in a lightning strike on the banks of the Elbe in Dresden on Monday evening. Four of them suffered such serious injuries that their lives were in danger. Two 27 and 30-year-old men were resuscitated after suffering cardiac arrest.
According to the police, there is currently no new information on their state of health. "We are only informed when one of those affected dies," said a police spokesperson on request. The state of health of those affected is subject to medical confidentiality.
