I was just reading that story. I'm glad the guy was ok...that's crazy stuff!
This link has a news video clip and some 911 calls.
A disabled man was taken for a 50mph ride along a US highway after his wheelchair got jammed in the grille of a lorry.
The back of the 21-year-old man's wheelchair was scooped up as he passed in front of a lorry leaving a petrol station, Michigan State Police said.
The truck driver drove off, completely unaware that he had a new passenger.
Other motorists raised the alarm and used their mobile phones to call police.
"You are not going to believe this, (but) there is a semi pushing a guy in a wheelchair on Red Arrow Highway," one caller said.
After four miles, the driver pulled over at a truck stop where police caught up and told him about the man on his front end.
He refused to believe there was a man in a wheelchair stuck to the front of his truck until he saw it for himself, police said
The man was unhurt - but still attached to the front of the truck. He had been kept in his wheelchair by a seatbelt.
Police in the town of Paw Paw, Michigan, said he told them "it was quite a ride", and complained only that he had spilled his soda.

man, imagine seeing that. I just crack up when I picture it. Imagine you're driving and all of a sudden this truck passes you by with a guy in a wheelchair stuck to the front bumper!That's just Hollywoodesque! I can just picture the guy in the wheelchair's face!
How do you accidentally back up into an 18 wheeler and get stuck?
Why didn't the guy just get up and pull his chair off of the grill?
ing lazy ass.
Shouldnt he have parked closer being handicapped?
Wonder how much Sea World would charge for a ride like that.
I know "dark humor".
saw this in another forum.
I'm surprised at 50 mph the wheelchair's wheels could keep up and not get jammed somehow, maknig the chair flip and ultimately killing the poor guy.

suprising
Dude wasn't even wearing a helmet.
