Jessica Wuetschner was hit by lightning while working as a stevedore in 2020 and the Essendon star has gone public with her mental health struggles since
“A storm just starts rolling in, and it is pouring with rain, I mean like torrential Queensland pour, and the wind is like 60ks an hour, blowing through, it’s like needles to the face,” Wuetschner recalled in a TikTok video.
Wuetschner, now 30, said she heard a “big bang, clap zzz” when lightning hit the pole she was holding. “I saw big, bluey white flashes go up my arms, and then I kind of like, from there, just sort of fell to the ground.”“After about three hours they discharged me, at about 5.30am-ish... I walked out of the hospital with no shoes, soaking wet, no way to get home, no family, none of my friends were answering their phone. I had to get in a taxi soaking wet, by myself, to get home.
