Two young footballers have been struck down by lightning (Thunderbolt) during a football match in Jamaica.

It was gathered that Wolmer Boys School were in action against Jamaica College at the Stadium East field in Kingston when the footballers collapsed.

Wolmer’s were leading 2-1 in the second half when the bolt that caused four players to fall to the floor hit.

JC player, Terrence Francis and Wolmer player, Dwayne Allen were both rushed to University Hospital in West Indies for observation.

According to local outlets, Francis was stretchered off the field after he failed to respond to treatment and another of his teammates Nickache Murray was later admitted after “complaining of chest pains.”

The Jamaica Gleaner added that he was held overnight after the Inter-Secondary Schools Association said tests were done and “ECG showed irregularities.”

The ISSA later revealed that Allen has since been discharged from hospital while Francis has shown “significant improvement,” and is now in a stable condition.

Ian Forbes, team manager of Jamaica College, told the Jamaica Observer that Murray has now been discharged.
