A German tourist has died after collapsing following a lightning strike at Grand Canyon National Park.
Park rangers said emergency medical responders performed CPR on Thursday but couldn't revive the 64-year-old woman, who was part of a visiting tour group.
Authorities say five other people in the group were treated for minor injuries after lightning hit the ground nearby, but apparently didn't hit anyone.
