I Nyoman Fery Wirawan, a 22-year-old man from Tianyar Village in the Karangasem Regency of Bali, Northeast Bali, was struck and killed by lightning on Tuesday, 09 March 2021, at 3:00 pm.
The head of the Kubu Police Precinct, AKP I Nengah Sona, told Kompas.com that Wirawan, together with a friend I Ketut Kurniawan (16), were returning in the rain when the tragedy occurred.
Taking refuge from the rain, the two men parked under a tree to collect
boni fruit.
When the rain began to subside, the men were preparing to continue their journey home when a loud clap of thunder combined with lightning strikes saw the two men knocked off their motorcycle and left sprawling on the ground.
