WATCH: Lightning Strikes Moving Pickup Truck During Storm

If you thought your car couldn’t get hit by lightning while it’s speeding down the highway in a thunderstorm, you were wrong. This week, a pickup truck in Alberta, Canada was doing just that when a camera caught a lightning bolt striking the bed and creating a huge fireball.

According to ABC News, all of the truck’s airbags deployed and the cabin filled with smoke. The couple were trapped inside until a police officer came by and rescued them.
