Pavement Blasted Off Florida Highway by Lightning Strike Flies Through Truck

A lightning strike sent a chunk of highway through the windshield of a truck in Florida on Monday and authorities say the truck’s occupants are lucky that their injuries weren’t more severe.

When fire rescue crews in Walton County, 40 miles north of Destin, responded to the scene of a traffic accident near mile marker 81 eastbound on Interstate 10 they found a Ford truck with both its windshield and rear window shattered.

Radar picked up on a lightning strike in the area, according to CNN meteorologist Haley Brink.

Two occupants of the vehicle where hurt and were transported to a local hospital.
