Lightning Strike Kills Kansas Motorcyclist
LAWRENCE, Kan. -- A 45-year-old Lawrence man was killed when he was hit by lightning as he was riding his motorcycle as storms swept through northeast Kansas.
Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Herrig said the man was with six other motorcyclists who are members of the Bikers Against Child Abuse group. He was hit by lightning about 5 p.m. Saturday on U.S. 24 between Perry and Granville.
A man riding next to the victim was treated and released at a Topeka hospital. The other five members of the group were not injured.
Herrig said the motorcyclists were returning home after visiting some children they had helped in the past in their work against child abuse. He calls the man's death a "tragic, sad thing."
