LOWRY,USA - Walworth County Deputy Sheriff Chuck Davidson,whose patrol vehicle was hit by lightning, answers to a new nickname. "They're all calling me Sparky," he said.
Davidson was driving down U.S. Highway 83 when the lightning hit at about 7 a.m. Thursday.
"All of a sudden, there was a flash, a bang and then there was a bunch of sparks on the road behind the vehicle,everything in the vehicle turned off, and I coasted to the side of the road," Davidson said.
He had to use his cell phone to call for help because the lightning fried the electronics and police radio in the vehicle.
While Davidson did lose his patrol vehicle, he didn't lose his sense of humor.
"It made me bald",he joked."But then again, they tell me that's how I was before."
"Every once in a while, I light up and you can see my bones.You know, how it happens in the cartoons," he said.
