Default The golly gee wheeeeeeeee ride of the day

A guy is in his wheelchair at a truckstop when the handbars get stuck in the grille of a semi-trailer truck . . . . . . and then he's off on a wild ride on the highway.

Except for the bugs hitting you in the face, this would probably be pretty cool.

what a lucky person not to be run over. the chances of the wheelchair getting stuck are pretty rare I would think. At least he got his protein for the day

I can't think of anything funnier than what the reaction of the truck driver must have been! "I've got a what on my what?"

Well looks like he's got a pretty fancy wheel chair, and obviously got the best speed rating on the tires. Money well spent apparently.

"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."

Crazy British. Wouldn't he be a lorry driver.

Police in the town of Paw Paw, Michigan, said the unidentified man told them "it was quite a ride", but complained only that he had spilled his soda.

This is the funniest part to me.

From the picture, the kid looks a little...well. You know whatever the P.C. term is these days. Not as developed or mentally disabled. Looks like a very happy kid though!

The 911 calls on this incident . . . . . this isn't particularly noteworthy until you get to the (I think) third caller . . . . . talk about someone you wouldn't want anywhere near you in a time of crisis!!

Oh Cow that was a great find. I am having troubles containing myself from bursting out laughing here at work.

They say there are two kinds of people in times of crisis, those who step up and those who fall apart.

Sweet mother of my land that girl fell apart. USELESS! She'd actually be better off calling then immediately hanging up. She's taking up a line that people who actually could state, oh I dunno, where they're at could use to notify authorities.
