ORLANDO, Fla. – A lightning strike blew up part of a Florida highway and sent a chunk of it into the windshield of a moving vehicle.
The strike occurred just before 7:30 a.m. on Monday, according to Walton County Fire Rescue.
First responders responded to a call in reference to a traffic crash involving a truck and road debris on Interstate 10 a few miles before the U.S. Highway 331 exit in Walton County.
The crew arrived to find a black truck with a massive hole in the windshield and a blown-out back window panel.
