(KNZA)--While recent storms left damage in their wake, including downed trees and power lines, a Pottawatomie County resident also felt the affects of the dangerous weather, as he was struck by lightning Friday.
According to a release from the Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office, they responded that evening to the 5600 block of Lewis Wilson Road, in Wamego, following the report of someone being struck by lightning.
When they arrived, the release says they found 37-year-old Matthew Campbell injured, with his wife, Jennifer, administering CPR.
The rural Wamego man had been, according to the release, walking back from a pasture when he was struck. His wife, who was with him at the time, reported that she had been knocked to the ground, but was not injured.
Matthew Campbell was transported for hospitalized care by Pottawatomie County EMS.
As of last check, his condition was not known publicly.
