( CNN ) -- A lightning strike in metropolitan Miami Monday afternoon killed a man and injured two of his friends , police said . Andres Telles , 31 , and his friends , Fidelmar Montero and Miguel Lopez , were pressure-washing a tractor-trailer rig when the lightning bolt hit . `` We went outside , and all three of them were on the ground , '' Janet Suarez told CNN affiliate WSVN . Suzrez and her son administered CPR , but could n't save Telles , she said . The injured men , Montero and Lopez , were taken to a local hospital and are listed in stable condition , according to the Miami-Dade Police Department . It was unclear how close the men were to the spot where lightning struck . `` We 're still investigating whether the individuals were directly struck by the lightning or the lightning struck the ground nearby , '' Det . Robin Pinkard told WSVN . Lightning strikes caused 28 deaths and 139 injuries in the United States -- the latest year for which figures are available , the National Weather Service said . `` One in 3,000 people has a chance of being hit by lightning ( in a lifetime ) , '' said CNN 's Chief Medical Correspondent , Dr. Sanjay Gupta . `` Thankfully , very few people die , but it happens a lot more than people realize . '' Last month , two farmers died and three others were injured in Buckeye , Kentucky when lightning struck a barn . Also last month , a lightning strike from a fast-moving storm in Colorado injured 12 soldiers who were training . And while weather experts say that the best place to be in a lightning strike is indoors , that advice did n't work for two women in Houma , Louisiana . They were struck three weeks apart -- one in a grocery store in July , and another in her home in May .
The lightning hit as the men pulled a boat out . The storm caused 28 deaths in the village last year . ` ` It happens a lot more than people realize , '' Dr. Gupta says .
