A 16-year-old will soon have a new ride after his truck was flipped into the air by a Texas tornado on Monday.
The video above, posted by Brian Emfinger/LSM, shows the twister sweeping up the red truck, flipping it on its side and then spinning it around. Eventually, the truck was returned to an upright position.
The driver, 16-year-old Riley Leon, took this as his chance to get out of the area as quickly as possible and drove away immediately after.
The video quickly went viral on the internet and was shared by thousands given that myriads were simply amazed that the teen made it out alive.
Many would say it’s nothing short of a miracle that Leon survived the incident. His truck on the other hand did not.
That’s why Chevrolet is gifting the teen and his family a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT All Star Edition in Cherry Red.
Leon and his family will be presented with the truck on Saturday, March 26, at the dealership.
