On the Afternoon of 29th April 2014, three men who were unloading a lorry in Park Lane, Camberley, have been taken to hospital after being struck by lightning. One man in his 40's is reported to have been thrown approximately 12 foot from the vehicle. Two other men, one in his 20's and the other in his 30's were thrown approximately 6 foot and have been taken to Frimley Park hospital. All three men complained of pain or 'pins and needles' in their hands after the lightening strike.

Work stopped at the Churchill Retirement Living construction site, where it is believed the men had been working, and workers were sent home following the incident.

Update: All three men were kept in hospital awaiting blood tests on Tuesday evening but are not seriously hurt. 26 year old Kyle Taylor is said to be feeling weak and in shock, but doing well.
