A 24-year-old woman was killed after she was struck by lightning while riding on the back of her brother’s motorcycle outside of Bangkok.

Lightning killed Issaraporn Lertking instantly and her 4-year-old son, who was sitting in the middle, and her 17-year-old brother were injured when the bike crashed as they rode through Soi Khlong 5 in Pathumthani province in the pouring rain on Sunday.
