Teen whose truck was damaged in Elgin tornado to get new one from Fort Worth dealer

The Texas teenager whose pick-up was walloped by the Elgin tornado this week and yet just kept on rolling is being offered a new truck from a Fort Worth Chevy dealer.

The wildly viral video is everywhere. Storm chaser Brian Emfinger recorded a red Chevy truck get smacked by the Elgin twister. The Silverado rolls on its side, pinwheels around and then, by its own momentum and the power winds, it rolls back on its tires and keeps on going.


The driver turned out to be a 16-year-old who is just glad to be alive.

While he's okay, Riley Leon's truck was clearly banged up by the ordeal. But fortunately for him, among the millions who've viewed that video were the people at Bruce Lowrie Chevrolet in Fort Worth, they are offering Riley a new truck.
