A nine-year-old boy who died after apparently being struck by lightning during a football coaching session has been named by the Blackpool Gazette as Jordan Banks.
The boy was injured on a playing field in the Common Edge Road area of Blackpool during a thunderstorm shortly after 5pm on Tuesday. An average of two people are killed by lightning in the UK every year.
