A British traveller is reportedly fighting for her life in hospital after allegedly being struck by lightning in Croatia.
The woman was sunbathing on Kasjuni beach in Split when she was hit by a freak strike of lightning. Local police from the Adriatic coast town were called to the scene at 3.15 pm on Saturday.
While she has not been identified, the woman is believed to be a 48-year-old British national who was on holiday with her daughter.
She had been sunbathing with her daughter when a thunderstorm approached. It is believed the electricity from the storm was drawn to her necklace according to MailOnline.
She was reportedly knocked unconscious as she and her daughter attempted to reach a hotel nearby.
