A police sergeant and two constables were out patrolling outside Brisbane, Qld., Australia, when their vehicle was struck by lightning.
"Everything went on -- the siren, lights, horn," said Sgt. Craig Shepherd. "It was one of the most freakiest things I've ever seen."
The officers limped the damaged 4WD vehicle back to the station -- the siren blaring the whole way -- so they could get the tools to disconnect the siren. (Australian AP) ...The most freaky thing about this: three cops, and none of them had a pocketknife to cut the siren's speaker wire. |
