ST. GEORGE — A Las Vegas woman has survived a lightning strike at a southern Utah campground.
Washington County Sheriff's Sgt. Danny Kroff says the unidentified 48-year-old woman was standing next to a tree that apparently was struck by lightning Friday at the Pine Valley Campground near St. George.
Kroff says the woman was breathing normally when authorities arrived, but she was taken to Dixie Regional Medical Center. Investigators found no wounds on her body.
The woman told authorities that she could feel electricity going through her body from her feet to her fingertips.
