snagged to the front of a truck.</B>
</P><P>21-year-old Ben Carpenter was unhurt after the journey, which began when the handlebars on his chair became 
stuck in the front grille of the truck as he passed in front of it on a petrol station forecourt.
</P><P>Authorities were alerted when a woman phoned Michigan Police and reported: "You are not going to believe this. 
There is a semi truck pushing a guy in a wheelchair on Red Arrow Highway."
</P><P>The truck driver was unaware of his passenger and reportedly refused to believe police until he saw Mr 
Carpenter, who was restrained in his chair by a seatbelt.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9572CACC-73BF-4366-ABC9-67E3ED3FF3C5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
