Wheel chair gets stuck in 18 wheeler front grill guy goes for ride! 50mph

woodtv.com — WTF! This has got to be the weirdest story ever. The wheel chair of a 21-year-old man became lodged in the grill of a semi truck as the vehicle pulled out of a gas station. The semi then began driving down Red Arrow Highway, with its new and unusual hood ornament still attached. Speeds of 50 mph were reached, picture included.

  • Cozmcphish, on 10/11/2007, -3/+189Touchdown: "This guy should go out and buy a lottery ticket right now! He's the luckiest man alive!"

    Luckiest man alive? The guy's in a freaking wheelchair! I consider this "breaking even".
  • socalrob, on 10/11/2007, -4/+170I hope he was going the same direction as that truck.

  • rebotfc, on 10/11/2007, -3/+113Truck Driver: Prepare ship for light speed.
    Wheel Chair Guy: No, no, no. Light speed is too slow.
    Truck Driver: Light speed is too slow?
    Wheel Chair Guy: Yes. We're gonna have go right to... ludicrous speed.

  • dubled, on 10/11/2007, -5/+109A video of this would be gold. My g-friend and I laughed big time when we first read this story. He is very lucky, he would have been totally owned had the chair dislodged and gone underneath the 18 wheeler. The driver was friggin bewildered when he walked out front and saw the guy. Would have been a fun ride knowing you would be safe.
  • FRANKeB, on 10/11/2007, -11/+105TIMMEH!!

    Beat that horse a little more, he still has some kick left in his hind legs.
  • friedcalamari, on 10/11/2007, -3/+83Timmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • jus1haz2, on 10/11/2007, -2/+74Wow surprised it didn't tip over, I would have ***** myself if that was me.
  • jd33, on 10/11/2007, -11/+83I'm inz ur grill, steelinz ur windz.

  • Smokes, on 10/11/2007, -2/+64Shouldn't that be "I'm a Bumper!" ?
  • tidu, on 10/11/2007, -6/+61Judging from the picture, it looks like he's asleep...
  • imacashew, on 10/11/2007, -3/+56HIT AND ROLL!!!
  • WhitePanda, on 10/11/2007, -10/+60I thought it said "I'm a Fapper"
  • joelav22, on 10/11/2007, -5/+53What's cooler than being pushed by an 18 wheeler 50mph in a wheelchair?


    Walking
  • ruest, on 10/11/2007, -2/+49The 911 calls are hilarious!!!
  • Beshitehboss, on 10/11/2007, -14/+59A girlfriend? Pics or it didn't happen...
  • kiiwii, on 10/11/2007, -11/+55The biggest question is, just HOW did he get stuck? If you look at the pictures, he would have had to back into the truck... (Or have the truck hit him from the back)

    Not only that, but when the truck would turn, how would the wheelchair not get knocked over?

    If this wasn't set up, this man is both the luckiest and unluckiest person in America.
  • JCSaint, on 10/11/2007, -9/+50Oh, that's so exciting... for you.
  • lechatron, on 10/11/2007, -3/+43All I can picture is this guy cruising down the highway at 50 with his arms in the air screaming "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
  • stlcadet11, on 10/11/2007, -2/+41"He does not know it but he is pushing a man in a wheelchair and there is a woman chasing the truck screaming"

    *what an image*
  • Dan11023, on 10/11/2007, -4/+43weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+43Pics or it didn'...... HOLY CRAP IT DID HAPPEN!
  • UnstableMind, on 10/11/2007, -0/+37He can probably get away with a hit and run, he technically didn't leave the scene, just brought it with him.
  • dungbeetle, on 10/11/2007, -2/+39This needs to go on Mythbusters. I doubt it's fake but I really want to see what it looks like.
  • woxidu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+35Doesn't this mean it was a 22 wheeler for those four miles?
  • ajcates, on 01/20/2009, -2/+36http://www.tshirthell.com/store/product.php?productid=696
  • chaesar, on 10/11/2007, -2/+34yeah, good 'ole Paw Paw, what a cultural Mecca that place must be
  • Makubex, on 10/11/2007, -6/+37Or a life insurance policy...
  • 69sofine, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32Good thing that guy's wheel chair was highway ready.
  • tdogg241, on 10/11/2007, -1/+30It'd be even better if you were in a wheelchair lodged to the front of the truck. As it stands, I am unimpressed.
  • ChronicColonic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+29I like how the trucker pretended he didn't know. He was up there the whole time laughing so hard he had tears in is eyes...
  • lacour1234, on 10/11/2007, -1/+29The wheelchair is a Quickie brand. Nothing beats a Quickie is their slogan.
  • ZombyWoof78, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26Here are the 911 tapes.

  • mactrix, on 10/11/2007, -0/+25Good for him, cheaper than the bus, save $ on gas, etc... The planet would be alot greener if more people learned from this guy!
  • GlargTheKelfn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24having hit 25 in my chair and almost flipped it, i can not imagine what the ride was like. having it locked into the grill like that would probably up the stability quite a bit.

    wild stuff.
  • seattle98104, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26So was the truck driver ticketed? Article says nothing.

    I mean, if the guy's wheelchair was any other height, he would have just been ran over.

    Hit and run anyone?

    WTF?
  • combustion8, on 10/11/2007, -1/+23I would've killed to see this in person.
  • horizontaleight, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21Yeah, I'm fairly certain this will never be topped.
