On The Scene: Mourners gathered on Monday (November 4) to bid farewell to Jose de la Cruz who was killed by lightning during a soccer match in the Peruvian Andes. A survivor of the incident, player Juan Chocca Llacta, said he saw white when lightning hit the pitch. The local tournament game between Juventud Bellavista and Familia Chocca in Huancayo province on Sunday (November 3) was halted when lightning first struck, but a second bolt hit players as they were leaving the field. Though lightning has struck football matches in Peru before, causing injuries, the weekend incident was the first known fatality from the phenomenon in the country. Globally, however, lightning has killed before.
