I'm sure this semi truck driver will be telling this story to his truck driver buddies for years...

Edit: Crud, the Chicago Tribune constantly changes their links around to break outside links. Here's the article text:

Wild ride in wheelchair

In Paw Paw, Mich., Ben Carpenter was crossing the street on his motorized wheelchair Wednesday when a truck caught him on its grille after it got a green light. Carpenter was pushed 2 miles at high speed. "I tried to yell for help, but no one could hear me," said Carpenter, 21, of Kalamazoo, Mich., who has muscular dystrophy, which put him in a wheelchair more than seven years ago.
