Davidson was on 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," he said. "Everything in the vehicle turned off, and I coasted to the side of the road."
He had to use his cell phone to call for help because the lightning fried the electronics and police radio in the vehicle.
