Newly released body camera video captures officers treating a couple struck by lightning on the West Orange Trail. Both suffered serious injuries as first responders and bystanders rushed to help. The footage shows Winter Garden police officers arriving to find Aaron Walenga lying on the ground with a severe head injury, groaning in pain and struggling to respond. Officer: "Okay, stay right there, buddy... Can you talk? ... Fire Department is coming, just keep talking to me." Nearby, his wife, Clare Walenga, was also suffering from a head injury and was initially unresponsive. A witness told officers she appeared critically injured immediately after the strike. "She was blue," a Good Samaritan said. LiveNOW’s Andy Mac got an update on the story from FOX’s Amy Galo in Orlando, FL.
