Semi-truck takes man and wheelchair for a ride down Red Arrow Highway

Tribune Staff Report

PAW PAW, Mich. -- A 21-year-old man was taken on a wild ride Wednesday afternoon when the wheelchair he was in became attached to the grille of a semi-truck and was taken four miles down a highway at about 50 mph.

The man, whose name police did not release, was not injured. The driver was unaware he was pushing the man, according to a news release from the Michigan State Police.

Authorities began receiving calls about 4 p.m. that the semi was traveling westbound on Red Arrow Highway, just outside of Paw Paw, with the wheelchair...

Whew, I'm glad he wasn't hurt, cuz now I can make some great lines!

Anybody contact Guiness to check for speed records in a wheelchair?

Grandpa to grandkid.. "I ever tell you bout the time a semi truck pushed me down the road in my wheelchair at 50mph? No, really! I got the newspaper article to prove it!"

Trucker to wife.. "Honest honey, that's why I'm late!"

Wheel chair dude "Um.. God? You wanted my attention? Church on Sunday? No prob!.. ps.. Thanks!"
