Lightning strike kills soccer player, injures 5 others during match in Peru

Bro, this is wild, and it's why you always, always, always postpone an outdoor game when there is any sign of lightning — which seems to be what was happening here.

Watch as lightning directly strikes a soccer player in Peru as the players exit the field.

[Warning: Graphic]

Terrible.

Jose Hugo de la Cruz Meza, 39, died instantly, while the goalkeeper next to him received severe burns and is in critical condition. Four other players were injured as a result of the strike.

Ladies and gentlemen, you never know when your time is up.
