Argentina - 3 killed by lightning
Print Edition
Three tourists were killed by lightning and 22 others injured after a storm battered a seaside town in Argentina, officials said on Thursday.
Most people on the beach in Villa Gesell, in Buenos Aires province, had already left by the time the storm erupted, local officials said.
The fatalities, aged 17, 19 and 21, and those injured had been seeking shelter under awnings when the storm erupted. After the lightning struck, several victims were ferried away on sun loungers.
One witness said he saw people under the awnings fly 3 or 4 meters and a man “burned to death while traveling in a quad” vehicle. The injured included six children and 16 adults.
