Yikes!

Mich. man in wheelchair takes wild ride

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - A 21-year-old man got the ride of a lifetime when his electric wheelchair became lodged in the grille of a semitrailer and was pushed down a highway for several miles at about 50 mph.

Since the man was not hurt, this is a very amusing story. Scary about what could have been. But taking that out of the equation, it makes for interesting visual.

I'm still trying to figure out how he got lodged in that way if they were crossing in front of the truck...

Yes, it would have been a sad story had he died...

Several miles? No one saw him sooner? Are people who drive semi trucks just oblivious to everything?
:D

Last night I got to hear the recordings of the 911 calls. Poor people! I'm sure they were traumatized. Ask CM for the link.

That guy's a Pepper!

That's another thing. I see lots of pictures of him in this position still stuck to the front of the truck. How long did he stay like that after the fact for photographers?

He was a captive audience subject, so to speak.

On a semi truck, you would not be able to see someone (effectively) sitting right up against the grill of your truck. Also, one of the reports I read said that the driver was quite traumatized by this once the highway patrol (or police; whoever) was able to pull him over.

So how do they know if someone is walking in front of them? Small kids, etc. They need mirrors...

Somehow this gives me "Naked Gun" flashbacks...
