Storm tracker Carl Hobi (@pattrn) was driving behind a sports utility vehicle on a highway near Waverly, Kansas, during a thunderstorm when he captured this amazing moment of lightning striking the car.
In an interview with Newsweek, Hobi explained what happened:
"They were in shock and first thing they did was make sure the kids were ok and they were relieved that everyone was just fine," Hobi said of the parents.
"The car was dead and stuck in gear and we could not get it in to [sic] neutral to push off the road. It will most likely be considered Totaled," Hobi said.
