Student missing, 1 injured after Orlando rowing club boat capsizes following lightning strike

A search for a missing student is underway on a Florida lake after a lightning strike caused a rowing team's boat to capsize Thursday afternoon.

Five students with the North Orlando Rowing Club were practicing on Lake Fairview in Orlando around 5:50 p.m. when lightning reportedly struck the area, according to city spokeswoman Jennifer DeSantis.

One student went missing during the incident and another was transported to AdventHealth Orlando in unknown condition. The conditions of the remaining three students were not immediately released. Authorities also did not specify their ages.

Members of the nonprofit group North Orlando Rowing Club were practicing in the water around 5:50 p.m. when the incident took place, the Orlando Fire Department told ABC News in a statement.

"Preliminary reports indicate lightning struck the area," the department said.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the Seminole County Sheriff's Offic and Orange County Fire Rescue, responded to the scene.
