The Kooks  narrowly avoided what could have been a serious accident after their plane was struck by lightning.

The  band were flying from Germany to the Polish capital of Warsaw when their plane  was caught in a storm just ten minutes after take-off.

“There was a loud crash, like someone had smashed plates, and everyone was jolted. I saw the lightning hit the side of the plane. Scary stuff, man,” frontman Luke Pritchard said.
