KLEIN, Texas (KTRK) -- The scattered thunderstorms that pushed through the Houston area appear to have caused at least one incident that sent a pickup truck up in flames.

The Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office posted information about lightning hitting a vehicle along with photos of a truck engulfed in the fire on Tuesday afternoon.

Precinct 4 emphasized that no injuries were reported.

Still, photos show the dramatic flames overtaking the pickup's cab area, with its hood and driver-side door wide open.
