WAYNE, N.J. — A New Jersey delivery driver had a close call in Wayne last week when a bolt of lightning struck just feet away as he approached a customer’s front door.
27-year-old Jovanni Behun was lucky.
The incident occurred during a fast-moving storm that swept through Passaic County. According to witnesses, the driver was walking toward the home with a food delivery when a loud crack of lightning struck nearby, sending a bright flash and shockwave through the neighborhood.
No injuries were reported, but the driver was visibly shaken and briefly took shelter in his vehicle before completing the delivery.
The National Weather Service had issued severe thunderstorm warnings in the area at the time, with multiple cloud-to-ground lightning strikes recorded across North Jersey.
Surveillance video from the home reportedly captured the moment the lightning hit, showing the driver just steps from the front porch when the bolt lit up the sky.
