They say that if you have to be struck by lightning, it is best to be caught in a car because it is the safest place. In itself, I think we all prefer not to have to face such a situation, but the occupants of this Jeep Grand Cherokee had to experience it firsthand when driving through the storm.

The event has occurred near the town of Waverly, in the state of Kansas. As can be seen on the dashboard camera of one of the road users, in just a few seconds the SUV in front is hit by several lightning strikes in succession, completely blinding the other witnesses. Just then, you can see the Jeep's lights go out, as a result of a probable electrical failure caused by the large discharge.

Without a doubt, the images are surprising and you can see how the other cars in the area are stopped by the unexpectedness of the situation, but the truth is that no one was injured as a result. As mentioned by the user who uploaded this video to his YouTube channel, a married couple with a baby and two children under two years old were traveling in the Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, despite the spectacular images, everyone was unharmed.

This is so, since the vehicle body redirects the electricity, which ends up escaping through the car's wheels. In this way, the discharge never reaches the occupants, who remain safe.

In any case, the scare must have been great, especially for those who experienced it in their flesh. It is a relief that no one was hurt and that, at most, everything has been settled with a bill from the workshop for the damage to the vehicle - or with the replacement of the car itself, who knows.
