The cops informed that the 6-year-old boy, who was found "unresponsive, but breathing" was transported to a local hospital, while his father was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 34-year-old man died and his young son was seriously injured after they were struck by lightning while walking from a bus stop in Texas, US, on Monday evening.
Matthew Boggs was walking down his driveway with his two sons, Grayson and Elijah, "when lightning came out of the sky without warning," according to a GoFundMe campaign started by a family member. Grayson, 6, was holding his father's hand when the lightning bolt struck Mr Boggs.
Angela Boggs, the 34-year-old's mother, told CBS affiliate KWTX that in their final moment together, Mr Boggs told his son, "I love you, buddy" "He just got done telling Grayson. That's when the lightning came down," she said.
The two victims "were not responsive" by the time first responders arrived at the scene, according to a statement from the Bosque County Sheriff's Office.
