A teenage boy, Mason Schaefer, is currently on life support after being struck by lightning in a freak accident while playing soccer at Glacier High School in Kalispell, Montana. The incident occurred during a soccer practice on August 19, where Mason, another student, and a coach were all hit by the lightning strike.
Initially, Mason showed signs of improvement, with his family reporting on August 22 that he was able to "squeeze [their] hands." However, just 36 hours later, his condition worsened, and he remains in intensive care.
Mason's sister, Maddy Schaefer, provided an update on his condition, saying, "Mason has had some bumps in the road the last 2 days of his recovery. He remains on life support at this time. We remain hopeful and are thankful for everyone's continuing support."
In response to the incident, Maddy created a GoFundMe campaign, which has raised over $61,000 to support Mason's medical treatment.
The other student and the soccer coach who were also injured during the storm have since been released from the hospital, according to Glacier High School Principal Brad Holloway.
