Silverado’s Roof Buckled in Roll, Leaving Collegian Quadriplegic
On May 19, 2003, plaintiff Landon Leon Groff, a college student, was traveling on I-10 just outside San Antonio, coming home from Texas Tech after final exams. He was driving a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado extended cab pickup. He fell asleep and went off the road. He tried to regain control of the truck but could not, and it rolled two or three times. He was wearing a seat belt, but was injured when the roof collapsed above the driver seat.
