SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla. – Two beachgoers were taken to a hospital after being jolted by a lightning strike at Haulover Park.
According to an incident report, two men were in the water when lightning struck a lifeguard stand, sending an electric current into the water.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said the victims were taken to Aventura Hospital as trauma alerts.
"I looked in the water and I saw three people and they kind of looked like zombies, like paralyzed," a witness told Local 10 News.
According to the report, four people were injured. Two of the men injured refused treatment.
The witness said lifeguards used a defibrillator on one of the men.
"It was really scary," he said.
