Almost certainly fake. With the first strike, if you pause when it is at its brightest, the shadow cast by the car closest to the camera wouldn't exist where it does. Basically, the flash is light entirely from a source behind the camera.

Edit: well the shadow is always there, rather the huge amount of light from the lightning should have very much illuminated where the shadow was, but it didn't. Rather the shadow is just as strong as it ever was. That, the way the trees are light up also indicated the source of the flash is behind the camera

Even more edit: Actually, I don't think there was any flash at all, it was entirely done by increasing the levels on the image.

But one unfortunate man appears to have been electrocuted twice within the space of a minute by two almighty bolts of lightning.

The man wasn't even electrocuted once. And it's impossible to be electrocuted twice.

Electrocution occurs when you're killed by an electrical shock. If you're not dead, you weren't electrocuted.
 
The most fake thing I have ever seen in my life. As stated above, the flash effect is obviously done by increasing general light levels. Incredibly lame fake.
