A story on Friday’s Maine Page about a Milo 19-year-old who survived a lightning strike at Peaks Kenny State Park contained several errors. The incident occurred on Monday, June 28, not Tuesday, July 6. He was taken to the hospital, held overnight and was released Tuesday, June 29, and returned to work the next day, according to Park Manager William Elliot. The lightning did not hit the radio tower, but rather struck in the woods about a quarter of a mile from the tower, said Elliot.
