Michelle St. Val, 23, of Fort Lauderdale was on her way to the airport to pick up her brother on I-595 on Friday evening with her 4 year old son, Mikyal, belted in the backseat.
The sky threatened rain but conditions were dry when her car was struck by lightning, inches above Mikyal's head.
The music in the car stopped, her son was showered in glass, and her car was powerless and moving across three lanes of traffic.
An FHP officer determined that the bolt struck the upper left corner of the rear window, traveled through the car's frame, and exited on the right side back tire. The entire electrical system in the car was burned out.
Though St. Val, Mikyal, and the front-seat passenger were shaken, no one was injured.
