Many people have seen the viral video of the red pick-up truck that was flipped during a tornado and miraculously drove away. It happened on Monday, and many Texas new outlets talked to the driver yesterday.

Riley Leon is a 16-year-old who was driving home from a job interview at Whataburger. He realized he missed his turn, and when he went to make a U-turn, all hell broke loose. It was captured on tape. Leon is thankful he made it out with only a few scrapes.
