QUOTES:
"WHEN the truckie behind Inspector Peter Phillips saw lightning strike the
NSW police officer's brand new patrol car, he feared the worst.

All four tyres blew on the new Ford and the vehicle careered to the side of
the road covered in scorch marks and with the horn and the siren blazing.

But seconds later the truck driver was amazed to see a shaken but unharmed
police officer leap out of the car.

Lightning struck the car, melted the aerial, scorched the bonnet and boot
and burst all four tyres.

"The experience was like being in an electric lightbulb," he said."
