A Walton County, Fla., deputy was hospitalized after the patrol vehicle he was driving was struck by lightning Sunday afternoon.

The Walton County Sheriff’s Office said the deputy was driving south on Highway 331 south when the incident occurred.

A photo released by the sheriff’s office shows the damage to the left rear corner of the SUV. After the strike, the vehicle was inoperable because the electrical system was “fried,” according to the WCSO.

The deputy, whose identity was not released, was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital by Walton County Fire Rescue. He was conscious and is expected to make a full recovery.

The deputy wasn’t the only person with a close encounter with lightning Sunday. Earlier in the day, Walton deputies responded to a call for a water rescue at Morrison Springs. A female at that location had possible been struck by lightning and bystanders performed CPR until first responders arrived.

The woman was ultimately airlifted to a treatment center by Walton Air Rescue. Details on her condition were not immediately known.
