A farmer died and three others were injured Monday when lightning struck them while on their way home from rice planting session in a farm in Barangay Dardarat, Cabugao town.

Police said the victim, Raymund Incillo, 29, died instantly from severe burns on the body.

The other victims identified as Reynold Incillo, Angel Padilla, and a certain Remolacio sustained slight body injuries after being hit by lightning.

PAGASA weather forecaster Cynthia Iglesias said the best way to prevent from being hit by lightning is to find enclosed shelther such as homes, offices, shopping centers, and hard-top vehicles with windows rolled up.
