Summary
A German tourist, a 60-year-old man, died after being struck by lightning on a beach in Renesse, Zeeland, during a violent thunderstorm. Walking with his wife and their dog, he was hit directly in the chest. Emergency crews revived him on the beach before airlifting him to the hospital in critical condition; his wife suffered minor injuries and was released. Sadly, he didn’t survive. The storm also caused chaos nearby, injuring a festival crew member, damaging a hotel, and striking a church tower — turning a routine vacation into a devastating tragedy.
