A Cherry Hill teenage boy is recovering Wednesday after being struck by lightning.

John Martarano said he and his wife heard the lightning strike and saw their neighbor, 14-year-old Zachary Yizza, lying on the ground. According to Martarano, Yizza was unconscious and his clothes and flesh were burning.

?I ripped his burning shirt off and put the fire out around him,? Martarano said.

Rescue workers had to revive Yizza three times before he was taken to the hospital. He suffered burns over half his body.
