A golfer is struck by lightning at Fox Hollow Golf Course in Colorado on Tuesday evening, according to a 911 call cited by reporting. The call states that the golfer is injured and rushed to a hospital. The incident also involves an additional effect of the same storm system: the lightning strike ignites a brush fire near the course. Fire crews respond and spend more than four hours working to contain the blaze, the reports say. The available accounts do not provide the golfer’s name, age, or current condition, and they do not detail whether other people were involved. The reporting focuses on the timing of the storm, the lightning strike during play, the immediate response for medical care, and the extended firefighting effort required to control the fire sparked by the strike.
