According to The Sun and other foreign media, five people, including four female players, died on the 9th (local time) when a thunderbolt fell near a warehouse next to Colombia's Kazibio football stadium.
At that time, the game was suspended after a thunderstorm occurred during the soccer tournament, and six female players and a man involved fled under a tree near the warehouse.
In the meantime, the light flashed with a tremendous roar, and they all collapsed.
Among them, four female athletes died at the scene and one male died at a hospital. Two players suffered severe burns and are being treated.
Earlier in November last year, a thunderbolt fell on a Peruvian soccer field, killing one defender and injuring four others.
On the other hand, to avoid thunderstorms, you must fall from sharp structures such as tall trees, streetlights, and telephone poles.
Keep distance from long objects such as hiking sticks, umbrellas, and golf clubs, and avoid puddles with water.
When evacuating to a safe place, it is recommended to lower your body as much as possible and run in short strides.
In addition, if thunder rings within 30 seconds after the lightning strikes, you should immediately evacuate to a safe place such as inside the building, inside the car, and underground. You should wait for at least 30 more minutes after the last thunderstorm before moving.
