A Morehouse Parish man’s pickup truck was struck by lightning while driving down a Louisiana highway on Tuesday.
Sterlington Police Chief Barry Bonner told our sister website, MyArkLaMiss.com, the driver was going to work in Monroe from East Lake on U.S. Highway 165 when the vehicle was struck.
It caught on fire, but the driver was able to pull over near the Sonic Drive-In at Louisiana State Highway 2 and U.S. Highway 165.
Police said the man was not hurt, but the truck was a total loss.
