"Fatal Lightning Strike Claims Two Lives on Mexican Beach"

A man and woman were tragically killed by a lightning strike on a beach in Michoacán, Mexico, as captured in harrowing video footage. The bolt struck the first victim, causing them to fall onto the sand, and then traveled up the beach, striking a second person who was running to safety. The male victim later died in the hospital, while the female victim was visiting from Guanajuato. Lightning-related fatalities are relatively rare, with less than 25 reported per year in the US between 2013 and 2022.
