A Florida woman was killed by lightning Thursday as she was in a park waiting for her child to be released from a nearby school, officials said.

Lightning hit a tree near Trotwood Park in Winter Springs around 2:20 p.m., police said in a statement.

There were multiple lighting strikes in Winter Springs, a city of around 38,000 northeast of Orlando, at the time but there were no other injuries, Seminole County fire spokesperson Doreen Overstreet said. There were about 60 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in the area of Winter Springs from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., which is not considered excessive, said Tony Cristaldi, a senior forecaster with the National Weather Service in Melbourne.
