Two people have been taken to hospital after being struck by lightening in the Blue Mountains, near Sydney, yesterday. It is believed that they were tourists from Canada caught in a freak storm near a popular lookout. An NSW Ambulance spokesman said two of the group of three, all in their 20s, were holding a metal railing on a walking track on Echo Point Road about 3:15pm yesterday, when a storm hit the region and a bolt of lightning hit them.
