One woman was killed and two others were hospitalized after getting struck by lightning at a Louisiana music festival over the weekend, authorities said Sunday.

The three women huddled in their tent during a Friday storm drenching the T-Bois Blues Festival, a three-day camp-out in Larose, Louisiana, according to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office.

Investigators determined that Jacqui Stavis, 28, was knocked unresponsive when the tent was hit by lightning. She was hospitalized and died Saturday morning, authorities said.

Two other women, aged 24 and 30, were struck by the bolt and were transported to nearby hospitals with injuries stemming from electric shock, according to a statement from the sheriff's office.

A Labrador was also killed by the strike, officials said.
