Venezuelan woman killed by lightning strike on a Colombia beach (story + aftermath)

A family outing at a beach ended in tragedy when a Venezuelan woman was struck by lighting and killed in the Colombian Caribbean coast province of Cartagena.

Froilanis Rivas, 34, was standing near the shore of a beach in the town of La Boquilla on Tuesday when she was jolted, footage filmed by a bystander showed.

A man could be seen walking near and falling to the sand upon the impact of the lighting bolt.

He subsequently rose to his feet and ran several yards before he stopped and looked back.

Paramedics rushed Rivas, a mother of two children, to Serena del Mar Hospital and spent 45 minutes attempting to resuscitate after she had gone into cardiac arrest. She was later pronounced dead.
