WARSAW, Poland — An official in southern Poland says that three people have been hit by lighting while trekking in the Tatra Mountains, where a thunderstorm killed five people last week.
Edward Wlazlo, head of the Tatra National Park guards, said Friday the three were hit by lightning during a storm while trekking between Hala Gasienicowa and Kuznice, south of the Zakopane mountain resort. He had no further details.
Last week, a thunderstorm over the Tatras killed four tourists in Poland, including two children, and a Czech tourist in the Slovak part of the mountains.
