SEVIER COUNTY, Utah — A hike for Salina church group took a quick turn after a nearby lightning strike on Thursday sent seven of them to the hospital.

"There's lightning and that's when like it so coincidentally just happened to just crash right in front of us," Bailey explained."It was so bright and the sound was so loud, There was ringing in my ears and it felt like a bunch of weight had hit my head and pushed me backwards," said Bailey."I look around and like a few people had fallen but I was able to get back up really quickly and I was just so confused," said Bailey.

With the weather that rolled through that area on Thursday, FOX 13 News asked Bailey if she felt safety was a priority during the hike.
