Three children have been hospitalized after they were struck by lightning on a Puerto Rico beach Monday. The kids, between the ages of 7 and 12, were standing on the beach during stormy weather in the coastal town of Isabela. Footage that purports to capture the lightning strike shows a sudden blast of light just before all three kids collapse simultaneously. Family members and bystanders can be seen in separate video desperately trying to revive the children before first responders showed up. Police said they were all taken to a hospital in the town of Aguadilla, and the oldest child is said to be in serious condition. No other information was immediately available.
