ALBANY, GA (WALB) - An Albany woman was taken to the hospital tonight after she said she was struck by lightning while standing in her car port.

Lucy Wiard's husband said she was walking to her car at her home off Forest Ridge road to get her purse when lightning knocked her off her feet.

Her husband says she did not suffer any burns. Paramedics checked her vital signs, which seemed to be normal, and took her to the hospital.
