Random Made-up Story Part 1

The following Random Made-up Story series is not finished, but something I wrote to occupy me while making deliveries at my old job. Feel free to comment and critique, just know that they aren't complete and may never be complete. But I do plan on continuing the series at some point.
Thanks and have fun!

For years humanity has been slowly sinking into a swamp of evil and uncaring.
Those still faithful to Right continued to pray for deliverance and someone with the power to lead humans back out of the darkness.
One day that prayer was answered.
But will these heroes be aware of their role to play or will they be corrupted by the world and use their powers for their own gain?
That remains to be seen.
In Fontana, Calfornia three warehouse employees left their building and climbed into the truck to make their weekly delivery to the Santa Ana prison inmates.
Every Wednesday these three took the same route to and from Santa Ana. They would drive down, unload the product, hand deliver each bag to the respective inmates, pack up and leave.
Today was no different.
As usual Joshua was driving.
A semi-tall man at 6'1" and very heavy of build, his short-cropped brown and gray hair was already wet from the drizzle of rain coming down.
He wasn't driving because he was the only man of the three of them, but because if he didn’t he would fall asleep and he was embarrassed to think about the girls hearing him snore.
He would give a lot to be able to change things so he wouldn’t have to worry about it.
Sally, who sat next to Josh, was quiet and reserved and usually kept still because she was afraid she would say something silly and be laughed at.
At just about 5'5" tall with long black curly hair and pale skin, Sally was a good listener and had a wonderful smile, but deep inside Sally hoped she could have a more powerful presence and confidence.
The third in this little squad was Sylvia.
Her long red hair and freckled complexion gave passerby's their first clue that her temper was just a short fuse away.
Outspoken and the leader of this team, her outward persona was not able to completely hide her admitted fear of losing her husband again because she believed he thought poorly of her body.
The rain continued to come down as they embarked once again down the freeway.
But none of them saw what was coming toward them.
On the other side of the freeway divider a Corvette was skidding across the slick asphalt!
It hit a used tire that had been left on the shoulder and launched itself over the divider.
Sailing over, the vehicle came down directly under the front fender of the delivery truck causing it to drive up its angled form and into the air falling and sliding along the thin edge of the dividers.
Screaming in terror, despite thinking they would never be so emotional in an event like this, Josh, Sally, and Sylvia tried in vain to brace themselves.
When the truck slid along its side Sally and Sylvia were thrown against Josh, their seatbelts cutting into them.
Just as the truck slowed and began to fall onto the other side of the cement dividers, it slammed its cab into the ground leaving its tail end sticking high in the sky. At just that moment when all three passengers began to pull themselves up, a bolt of lightning struck the metal rear fender of the truck sending thousands of volts of electricity travelling through the body of the truck and into the three trapped inside!
