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

From the article:

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.

. . .

"It was quite a ride," the man reportedly told police.

Some articles warm my heart. I love it when blind chance works out that way. It sort of makes you believe that the "benevolent universe" was working overtime at that moment.
