UPTON, Mass. -- An Upton man who was struck by lightning returned home Thursday evening and is now sharing his amazing story of survival.
"It was unbelievable; it was very scary," said Scott Gray, who was struck by lightning.
Gray had gone outside to start his truck when he was knocked to the ground.
"One second I was standing there, the next second I was on the ground," Gray said. "Lightning hit the light post, traveled up to the house, and took me out, literally out from under my feet."
He laid there on the soaked driveway unable to move.
"I was just helpless. I couldn't move. I was shaking and trembling all over. Like something was in me, really was the feeling. It was head to toe. Not just one part, but everywhere," Gray said.
He was finally able to get up and make his way into the kitchen, where he collapsed.
His wife rushed him to the Milford Regional Hospital for evaluation.
While Gray said he feels as though he was hit by a truck, he is expected to be ok. He underwent testing and was released from the hospital. He is resting at home.
