A woman farmer, 54, was killed by lightning while working on her farm in a village in the southern province of Bushehr, according to a local official on Tuesday.
The head of the province`s Red Crescent office, Parviz Moslehi, said that the woman, a resident of Faqih Ahmadan village near the city of Dashti, 85 kilometers southeast of Bushehr, was struck by lightning Monday while working on her farm, <i>IRNA</i> reported.
Earlier floods made it difficult to transport the woman to hospital for medical treatment. She died before she could receive treatment, Moslehi added.
