The fastest wheelchair in the west!

A disabled man in America got a high-speed ride along a highway after his wheelchair became tangled in the front grille of a truck. The lorry driver failed to realise he'd picked up an extra passenger after colliding with the wheelchair at low speed on a petrol station forecourt in Michigan.

Incredibly, Ben Carpenter was unhurt after his wheelchair's seatbelt kept him secure. The trucker was still totally unaware when pulled over by police at a depot four miles further along the Red Arrow Highway, refusing to believe there was a man in a wheelchair stuck to the front of his cab until he saw it for himself. Carpenter was surprisingly calm, saying he had "quite a ride".
