The mystery driver of a red pickup truck caught on camera being thrown around in a tornado has been identified as a 16-year-old high school student. He tells FOX 7 Austin he is glad he made it out of that situation alive.
"Seeing the video, I'm like that's me in there and I could have not been here, but thank God I am," said Riley Leon.
"Everyone thinks I'm an adult, but, in reality I'm a minor. A 16-year-old that still goes to school," said Riley. The truck was lifted and tossed around on its side like a piece of paper, according to Riley. Luckily, he made it out with only a few scratches on his arms. Riley Leon was driving his pickup truck home after a job interview when he found himself in the middle of a tornado. A passerby caught the instance on camera, and the video of Leon's truck being swept away by a tornado has gone viral. Leon sat down with FOX 7 to discuss the event and how he felt during those wild moments.
