GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.–Ben Carpenter got the ride of a lifetime when his electric wheelchair became lodged in the grille of a semi-trailer and was accidentally pushed down a highway for several kilometres at about 80 km/h.
The father said being pushed down the road by the truck burned most of the rubber off the tires of the wheelchair, but otherwise didn't damage it. The tires were replaced yesterday morning, in time for his son to use the wheelchair this weekend at a muscular dystrophy camp.
