Honeymoon ends in tragedy as lightning strike claims newlywed's life on Florida beach
|
[FoxNews] A fairytale turned into a nightmare after authorities reveal that the man killed by a lightning strike on a Florida beach was on his honeymoon.
The Volusia County Beach Safety confirmed to WTVG that the victim, a 29-year-old man, was visiting from Colorado with his new bride, when he was struck by lightning on Friday afternoon while he was standing in ankle-deep water.
The victim was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, where he later died from his injuries, Volusia County Beach Safety Director Tammy Malphurs shared in an update on Monday with WESH.
Malphurs told the outlet that the storm was still miles away from the beach, making the strike "an extremely rare occurrence."
"It was clear blue sky, and the storm was like miles away from us," a witness described to WESH.
Volusia County Mike Chitwood addressed the tragedy and also confirmed the victim was a tourist visiting on his honeymoon.
