BEE CAVE, Texas — Two construction workers and a food truck employee were injured Monday by a lightning strike near Bee Cave, officials said.

Steve Wilkins, the project manager for the Cielo Apartment Homes complex on RM 620 near Falcon Head Boulevard, said that the injured people were in or near the food truck about 3 p.m. and that the truck was parked at the bottom of a hill.

Wilkins said he did not see the incident but went to the scene shortly afterward and said the victims look “stunned.” All three were conscious, he said, with two standing and one on the ground.
