Around 120 teams had travelled to a major handball tournament in Rastatt, Baden-Württemberg when a severe storm triggered dramatic scenes at the sports ground, which was also being used as a campsite.
At around 11 pm, tents at the site were in danger of being torn away by the storm, a police spokesperson told SWR.
As several people tried to secure them, lightning struck the area, leaving eight adults and a 13-year-old child injured. One person was seriously hurt, while the others sustained minor injuries.
A further lightning strike at a sports ground in Münsingen-Dottingen, a district on the Swabian Jura in Baden-Württemberg, left one person injured.
