AT least four children were fighting for life last night after being hit by lightning at a birthday party.

A total of eight kids and three adults were burned when the bolt hit a park in an affluent northern suburb of Paris.

The children, all aged around nine, were sheltering under a tree from a sudden rainstorm when the lightning struck.

Four children and two adults were seriously hurt.

The four children were later described as being in a l i f e- t hreatening condition.

A further five people were slightly i njured, i ncluding f our other children and another adult.

Lightning also struck a football pitch in western Germany yesterday, injuring 35 people.
