A mechanic is gaining thousands of views after showing what happened to a Ford F-150 pickup truck that was struck by lightning while it was moving.
Alan Reece, a car dealer from Oklahoma (USA), posted a TikTok video giving a brief tour of the vehicle, which he said was struck by lightning while the family was passing by the shop.
He showed that the lightning hit the truck’s antenna, sending a surge through the vehicle that caused a fire and “destroyed” the interior. According to him, the passengers were lucky to survive.
From the outside, you can already see that the windshield was shattered. Inside, the damage is even more evident: the seats were charred, the dashboard scorched, and the sun visors burned.
“That situation must have been terrifying, really terrifying,” Reece said in the clip, just before showing the worst part of all. Under the hood, the damage was even more severe.
“It just melted,” he told viewers, pointing to a pile of twisted metal and burnt wires. In the comments, many users suggested that the truck was beyond repair.
“It’s a total loss,” lamented one TikTok user. “It destroyed everything,” noted another. “That thing under the hood looked like a bunch of baked rolls,” joked a third commenter. “I hope they have good insurance,” added another.
