A Connecticut man was killed when a tree was struck by lightning — sending a massive limb, along with electrical wires, crashing onto his car, according to a report.

Jarrod Marotto, 21, of Southington, was in his car around 5:15 p.m. Wednesday when the branch landed on his car near the Fairfield-Bridgeport line, authorities told the Connecticut Post.

Police found Marotto unconscious inside the vehicle, Fairfield police Capt. Robert Kalamaras said in a statement obtained by the outlet. First responders needed to wait for an electrical crew to shut off power to the wires before they could free Marotto, authorities said.

He was finally freed about an hour later and turned over to paramedics, who brought him to St. Vincent’s Medical Center, where he died, according to the report.

“Further investigation revealed that Jarrod was driving southbound on Park Avenue when a large limb from a cottonwood tree was struck by lightning and fell, striking the vehicle and Jarrod on the driver side,” Kalamaras said. “Jarrod was the only occupant in the vehicle.”

The region was battered by heavy rains and winds — the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry — when the accident occurred, and a flash flood watch was in effect until 5 a.m. Thursday.

At the height of the storm, 15 outages knocked out power to 1,399 Fairfield customers — about 5.8 percent of the town’s population, the local outlet reported.
