Book describes horror injuries suffered while out jogging

Lightning chain reaction

A TAXI driver who was struck by lightning has been left with a scar in the shape of his gold necklace.

Campbell Gillespie, from Lenzie, near Glasgow, was out jogging when a bolt hit him directly in the chest.

He was blasted 15ft into the air and landed face down.

The lightning struck a gold chain around his neck, which vaporised and left him scarred for life.

But a cross pendant attached survived without a mark.

The force of the electricity broke Campbell's jaw and smashed his teeth.

His heart stopped three times, he suffered a bleed on the brain and was left in a coma for weeks.

The 60-year-old took years to recover from the 2003 lighting strike and had to learn to walk and talk again.
