Teen watches in terror as mum is hit and killed by lightning bolt on dream holiday

A daughter has recalled the moment her mum was struck by lightning while on holiday as she paid tribute to the "happy-go-lucky" physiotherapist.

Daniella DiMambro, 48, was struck by lightning as she sheltered under a tree with her daughter Emily DiMambro-Mosscrop, 18, and 15-year-old son in Croatia on August 20.

The lightning bolt entered Daniella's right ear. A bystander gave her CPR, but Daniella had also suffered hypoxic brain injuries, which restrict oxygen from being supplied to the brain.
