Board 8 > This 36 y/o Woman and her HORSE are Dead after being hit by a LIGHTNING BOLT!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

36 y/o Laura Miller and her HORSE from Colorado were killed after they were directly hit by a lightning strike when they were stuck between 2 storms!!

She was riding with a 15 y/o family friend on a trial in Sedalia when the experienced equestrian and her horse were struck and were instantly killed by the strike..

The teen who was with her was injured and is recovering at hospital..

Laura loved her hoses and has been an experienced equestrian rider for years. She had built an outdoor riding arena and a barn as her neighbor David Curnutte said "She died loving what she always wanted to do"

They were trying to stay ahead of the storm but a lightning bolt hit an oak tree as they passed and then struck the riders..

Her death is the first of this year as lighting kills on average 49 people every year.

Did you know you could get struck by a lightning bolt?

Laura - Deceased
