A man was struck by lightning Wednesday night after leaving the Hebrew Educational Alliance Center in southeast Denver.

Denver fire personnel were administering CPR as the man was taken from the synagogue at 3600 South Ivanhoe St., said Denver Fire Lt. Phil Champagne.

His name and condition were not immediately available.

“He had gotten his family in the vehicle, and he was going around to the driver’s side,” Champagne said.

Thunderstorms rolled across the Front Range just after 8 p.m. delivering hundreds of lightning strikes, according to National Weather Service radar.

Lightning forced a delay of the Colorado Rockies baseball game at Coors Field Wednesay night, and RTD stated on Twitter that a downed wire on the southeast light rail line had halted service temporarily at about 9:15 p.m.
