The Texas teen who survived after his truck was overturned, then turned right side up while driving through a tornado earlier this week was surprised in Fort Worth with a new car and a generous gift to his family.
The video of Riley Leon's red truck getting stuck in the winds of a powerful storm in the Austin area went viral.
From inside his brand-new truck, Leon said he's grateful for all the support he's gotten since that day. In addition, Lowrie presented a $15,000 check to his family for any other expenses that may come along. "When we saw the video, we were all very moved," said Don Wagner, regional director for Chevrolet. "You see what happened and you think about your child being in that truck spinning around, so honestly, we were just really pleased and grateful he was safe, and as soon as we recognized it, we immediately tried to reach out, tried to find him."
