The 18-year-old daughter of a woman killed in a freak lightning strike while on a beach has paid tribute to her mum. Emily and her 15-year-old brother were with mum Daniella DiMambro on a backpacking trip in Croatia when a storm broke out.
The three had visited the city of Dubrovnik then went island-hopped before reaching Split, Croatia's second-largest city. Emily told NottinghamshireLive she and her mum had gone to sunbathe on Kasjuni Beach when the storm broke.
They packed up their belongings, headed to a rocky area and sheltered under a tree. "Mum said, 'wait it out until the sun comes out again," said Emily. There was a big flash and then a second.
