A teenage girl survived a terrifying lightning strike after she was
saved by the wire of her iPod. Schoolgirl Sophie Frost and her boyfriend
Mason Billington, both 14, stopped to shelter under a tree when a storm
struck as they were walking near their homes. Doctors believe Sophie
survived the 300,000-volt surge only because it travelled through the
gadget's wire, diverting it away from her vital organs. The teenager was
taken to hospital and is recovering from burns to her chest and legs
while Mason suffered damage to his eyes. Sophie will be thankful she was
wearing her iPod, which she had been given four days earlier as a gift
from her grandmother. Sophie and Mason were knocked unconscious by the
lightning bolt while holding hands and taking shelter in a field. Mason
came round and carried Sophie, who was scorched and unconscious, to a
nearby road where he flagged down a female motorist who took the couple
to Southend hospital. Sophie suffered burns to her body and legs, some
temporary damage to her eyes and a perforated eardrum.
