BRISTOL, R.I.—Bristol police have identified a fisherman who was apparently struck by lightening during an intense storm.

Edgardo Torres was injured while fishing on a jetty Tuesday afternoon.

Authorities say his friend heard thunder, turned around and saw the 32-year-old Torres on the ground. He was unconscious and needed CPR.

Rescue crews brought Torres to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence. A hospital spokeswoman did not know his condition Wednesday afternoon.
