A driver had a close call during severe weather on Friday. A utility pole fell, narrowly missing his truck, and a powerline sent an electric shock through part of the vehicle while he was inside. The driver, Eric Jones, was trying to escape hail at the time. He reported seeing a blue flash and immediately called his wife to tell her what happened.

The incident was captured on dash camera video from Jones' truck. Jones expressed gratitude that his vehicle withstood the shock. He believes the outcome would have been different if he had been any closer to the falling pole.

Further details of the incident are available, including Jones' account of the ordeal and the aftermath.
