event_narrativeLightning struck Richard Parker, 14, of Gresham as he was bicycling near NE 230th Court in Wood Village at 1230 PDT. The lightning struck him in the head and exited through his groin. His companion at the time called 911 from a neighbors house and paramedics arrived in about two minutes. Parkers's heart had stopped, and he suffered a concussion and second degree burns on his face, chest, groin, and upper legs. Parker apparently did not receive the full force of the bolt directly, which spared his life. He was still on his bicycle with his hands on the handlebars when the paramedics arrived. He was revived in the ambulance enroute to the hospital and he is expected to recover.
