A Florida woman died in the hospital Thursday after being struck by lightning while standing outside a school with her child and dog.
An 18-year-old woman unrelated to the victim was also struck by the lightning.
The child and dog involved with the strike received medical assistance and are “doing fine,” according to a statement from the Winter Springs Police Department. The mother’s second child is being cared for, Orlando’s Spectrum News 13 reported.
The victims were standing near a tree close to Keeth Elementary School in Winter Springs, Florida, where the woman was waiting for her other child to get out of school.
