A motorcyclist died in Florida after he was struck by lightning and crashed on a major highway, authorities said.
The 45-year-old man was riding his motorcycle southbound on Interstate 95 in east-central Florida's Volusia County on Sunday afternoon when a lightning strike hit his helmet, causing him to veer off the roadway and crash. He didn't survive, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
An off-duty Virginia State Police trooper reportedly witnessed the lightning strike and the resulting crash, authorities told Orlando ABC affiliate WFTV.
The Florida Highway Patrol posted an image on social media showing the remnants of the man's helmet.
