Had a massive thunder and lightening storm over the weekend, it came out of nowhere, but some poor chap got one to the head.

Well, that's one of those things that you just can't predict or do anything about. There's no-one to prosecute or blame, just a freak accident.

Was on the M50 heading northbound around 5-6 on Sunday. Seen a big bolt just over to my left, so it could well have been it.

RIP.
