ORLANDO, Fla. – A lightning strike killed a man riding a motorcycle in Florida Sunday.
The Florida Highway Patrol tweeted a photo of the man’s shattered helmet.
Officers say the man from North Carolina was on Interstate 95 in Volusia County when he was struck by lightning and crashed.
An off-duty Virginia state trooper witnessed the lightning strike.
This may sound like a bizarre, very rare incident, but the National Lightning Safety Council says ten lightning strike deaths linked to motorcycles have happened since 2006. Bikers may want to get off the road in a storm.
