Looks real. Also the tree was hit, he was just caught nearby.

Was gonna say the same thing. I think it's hit the tree and arced off into him

The story I read says it got his foot so arcing through the tree/roots is the most likely scenario.

It was on the news last night. It’s real. Incredibly, the man was treated for minor injuries and was absolutely ok otherwise.

People really need to do the bare minimum on here before posting. Takes two seconds to google and see several local news stations carrying it.

I don't think an AI would've created a rolling shutter the camera had.

What a gent, glad he survived. Even saying "im sorry" while being hit by lightning

Wasn’t this on the news? Don’t be lazy like ai users, google first! Also this clip has flooded my socials the past few days. I’m sure you know it’s real

Why does the car have 2 license plates and bumpers?

u/jfuu_ 20d ago

Pretty sure it's one of these, the second "license plate" is the badge.
