Quote:

A teenaged couple have been describing how they were struck by lightning in a park in Essex.

Sophie Frost and Mason Billington, both 14, were sheltering under a tree during a storm.

Lightning struck and Sophie passed out as the current travelled through her iPod headphones, which were hanging from her school uniform, burning her chest and stomach.

It then passed through Mason, who was holding her hand.

He described what happened when the lightning struck.
