"Horror" scene, lightning strikes just meters away from man in car in Atlanta - horrifying footage released

An amateur video filmed from inside a car in Atlanta, USA, has captured an unusual scene.

Until this country was hit by bad weather accompanied by strong winds and torrential rain, a man traveling by car on the highway could be freely called the luckiest man.

While he was speeding down the highway in Atlanta, at one point lightning struck the asphalt a few meters away from him, reports the Telegraph.

And this did not escape the camera that the man had placed in the mirror and immediately shared it on social media.

It only took a few meters for the lightning to directly hit the man's car, who reacted immediately by slightly avoiding it with a slight movement of the steering wheel. /Telegraph/
