Bulgaria: Lightning Kills Granny, Injures Mother, Kid in Bulgaria File photo

A 47-year-old woman was killed and two others were severely injured by a lightning near the Bulgarian town of Gotse Delchev, Southern Bulgaria.

The casualties – a young woman, her daughter and mother and father in law - went to toil on the field, where they grew tobacco for a living, when a thunder storm started on Monday.

They found shelter from the rain under a tree, which, however, was struck by a lightning.

The grandmother died immediately, while the mother and the kid suffered severe injuries and are about to be taken to a hospital in Sofia.

Their lives are not in danger, but their injuries on the neck and back will take many plastic surgeries to fix, doctors say.
