Love me a thunderstorm!

i was hauling a christmas tree in the back of my mini truck and my brother in law was following me. We had a strike very close: flash and crack was instant and my brother in law said he saw the tree jump in the back of my truck. Not sure if it was struck but it was super loud, sharp and my windows were up. We have a church member whose son died while motorcycling in the high desert, struck by lightning. What's the chance in that? :-(
