CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) - A worker for a trash hauling company was struck by lightning at the Travelers Championship at the TPC River Highlands golf course on Saturday night.
Cromwell Fire Department officials said the man was in his mid-30s, but would not release further details. Security officials said the man was conscious when he was placed in an ambulance and taken to Middlesex Hospital in Middletown. The man's condition was not released.
A thunderstorm struck the course less than an hour after play ended Saturday night.
Security officials near the scene where the man was hit said he was picking up garbage behind a hospitality tent near the 18th tee. They said he was putting his key into the driver's side door when lightning struck.
