Recently a wheelchair-bound Michigan man got a wild ride. Ben Carpenter, 21, of Paw Paw, Michigan was crossing the street in his motorized wheelchair when suddenly the light turned green. At that point Mr. Carpenter was in front of a semi-truck and the driver didn't see him. As the driver began to lurch forward he struck Mr. Carpenter and his wheelchair became lodged in the grill of the truck. Mr. Carpenter and his wheelchair were carried several miles at speeds topping 50mph until police pulled him over. They explained to the driver what happened....the man climbed from the truck in a state of disbelieve, and to his amazement what the officers said was true. Mr. Carpenter was unharmed as was his wheelchair, the only damage was that the wheels on his chair had lost most of their rubber.
