It is beyond my understanding how could Ms. Fong-Jones even considered being responsible. This a complete bullshit. It is like suing knife salesman for each harmful incident involving knifes he sold.

Also I don't understand why people here say that "In car sharing, someone must bear the cost of this risk.". If lightning would stuck that car, who would they sue, Zeus?

Nobody would be sued, the owner of any property bears the risk of its accidental destruction unless they transfer some or all of that risk to an insurance company.
