Vigilante Who Shut Down A Car Chase Rewarded With New Truck Parts
Vigilante Who Shut Down A Car Chase Rewarded With New Truck Parts-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:25

Remember that 2008 Ram 2500 diesel that ? Well the Ram driver is getting his truck fixed and upgraded for free, because a shop owner so appreciated his efforts.

Even though it didn't look too rough in photos, the pickup was said to have sustained about $7,500 worth of damage. But West Valley Carstar body shop did some $15,000 in work on the Ram fitting "new turbos, new front differential parts, a new fuel system, new back bumper and new shocks."

"It was more than expected," Bryson Rowley, owner of the Ram told . "They went above and beyond the repairs that were needed. I'm just grateful that people stepped up like that — it sure helped out."

Pretty much everyone seems to be hailing Rowley as a hero, despite the risks he took in doing a little freelance law enforcement. Apparently his fans include a co-owner of Carstar named Bryan Ellison. He decided he wanted to help Rowley afters seeing the story of his stand-taking on the news.

"I knew the insurance, because it was intentionally done, wouldn't pay... Just knowing that he could have saved multiple kids' lives — the least I could do was get the truck fixed at no cost," Ellison said in a interview.
