Boy, 13, hit by lightning on Friday the 13th

A 13-year-old boy was struck by lightning at exactly 13:13 on Friday the 13th.

The boy was seen by the St John Ambulance team at Lowestoft Seafront Air Festival in Suffolk, reports the Daily Telegraph.

He suffered a minor burn and was taken to James Paget Hospital, where he is expected to make a full recovery.

Jason Gillingham, county ambulance officer and on scene at the show, said: "This was a very minor burn to the boy's shoulder, but he was conveyed to hospital and is recovering well."

A second teenager and a woman were also struck by lightning but did not need hospital treatment.

The three were watching a display of the Red Arrows during a downpour when the lightning struck.
