episode_narrativeA 9-year-old and 6-year-old brother and sister were injured by lightning while they stood next to each other and their father on a tennis court in Mercer County Park. Lightning apparently struck an adjacent tennis court and then struck the boy's left leg and knocked a shoe off his foot and sent it flying. His 6-year-old sister fell backward and struck her head on the ground. She developed a large lump. The boy was unable to walk and complained about pain in his lower leg and foot.
