A Nottingham woman is in a coma after being struck by lighting while on holiday in Croatia. Daniella DiMambro, 48, is reportedly being flown back to the UK for further treatment after a relative explained how her heart stopped for 30 minutes.
Daniella, a physiotherapist, was at a beach near Split with her daughter when the incident happened. The pair were sheltering from a thunderstorm on Saturday afternoon, August 27, when she was allegedly hit and knocked unconscious as the pair tried to reach the safety of a nearby hotel.
Passers-by were only alerted to the horrific incident by screams and luckily a medic was on hand, having been dealing with a bike accident in a local triathlon. The Mirror reports that she was taken to KBC hospital and put on a ventilator while being treated for burns and internal injuries.
