For the second day in a row, lightning has been blamed in the death of a visitor to Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park.

Park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson says officials were notified yesterday of four people being struck by lightning near Trail Ridge Road.

The four were rushed to a hospital but Patterson says one man died of his injures.

On Friday, park officials said lightning killed one woman and injured seven other people. That also occurred near Trail Ridge, which is the nation's highest continuously paved road. Patterson says they are the park's first lightning fatalities since 2000.

No other key details were immediately released on yesterday's strike, including the names of those hit.
 

A park news released identified the woman who died on Friday as 42-year-old Rebecca R Teilhet.
