Tragedy struck over the weekend as Kourtney Lambert, a 23-year-old woman was killed by lightning at a Florida mud bog and four other people were hurt.
The lightning that killed her reportedly unfolded at Woodpecker Mud Bog in White Springs on Saturday, April 7, 2018.
The lightning hit a tree before it reached a nearby trailer, Hamilton County Sheriff Harrell Reid told the media.
During mud bogging, people run large trucks or off-road vehicles through a pit of mud.
Lonnie Inez Pate offered her condolences for Lambert on Facebook, describing her as a colleague.
“She was a sweet person, always helping other people. Funny to!! I will hold on to the memories. R.I.P Kourtney Lambert,” Pate wrote.
Lambert, of Branford, worked at UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville, according to her Facebook profile.
