A 20-year-old Florida woman has died two weeks after being struck by lightning while working with a roofing crew, authorities said.

Romelia Ramirez succumbed late Friday to injuries she suffered from the lightning strike on a rooftop in Wellington, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

She had been in critical condition since July 30, when she took a direct hit from the lightning strike, which knocked her to the ground from the two-story home, officials said.

Another worker who was knocked off a ladder during the incident hit his head but is expected to survive. Four other workers were treated at the scene or local hospitals and released.
