Boys and girls, REPEAT after me:
"Real life is
ALWAYS stranger than anything we can make up!"
Seriously, this story is strange enough that it has to be true!
I'm surprised the wheelchair tires didn't blow up. I can imagine that they're like 10-speed tires and probably not meant to be used higher than 20 mph. What quadraplegic or injured person is going to be able to go faster than that?

Well, if you
want to, you could always
arrange it so that it happens to you.
I wouldn't recommend it, though.
The guy in the wheelchair was related tto Evel Knievel...
...Not really.
He was surprised as much as anybody else. Apparently though, he didn't lose his cool. Must have had a nice breeze for those 4 miles he was attached to the truck!

I would have been too. Thank goodness he wasn't injured.
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.
Wait, there's actually a town called Paw Paw?
Now that's weird.
Still can't believe it took FOUR HOURS before someone even NOTICED or did something....:roll

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
