A camera crew followed 21-year-old Mitch Bohn around on Tuesday. But early on, it was just a cover story.

"We told him we were doing a documentary on accessibility in Billings," said Carmen Bohn, Mitch's mother.

By the afternoon, Bohn was at Christian Brothers Automotive on the West End. Shop owner Tony McCoy began showing him around a 2016 Ford Explorer — casually, as if it just happened to be there.

The SUV was there for a reason.

"The best feature about that, Mitch, is that it's yours," McCoy said.

The 2016 Explorer is outfitted with an automatic ramp, seat, door and other features suited for someone who uses a wheelchair. Bohn, who lives with spina bifida, broke down in tears alongside friends and family.

The Billings Christian Brothers branch gave the vehicle to Bohn as part of its annual day of service. The national auto repair chain chooses one recipient each year, and McCoy had requested that Bohn be the 2016 recipient.

Carmen Bohn said her family knew McCoy's family through baseball. Bohn's brother, C.J., plays the sport. Bohn knew that much, but even with the camera crew on hand Tuesday, he didn't suspect the gift.
