How the heck do you get your wheel chair caught in the grill of a semi?

well my dad drives a semi and I've gone on trips with him in that many times growing up. You could have run that guy over and probably just felt a little bump. And depending on how you approach your vehicle and climb in, you can't see whats directly in front of you.I wonder if the guy got a free soda

[QUOTE=scherry2you guys in Michigan have all the fun!! [/QUOTE] The family is going to write the wheel chair company because they credit the company for the way it was built and its weight for saving his life. He got caught by the truck from turning in front of it and the truck apparently started to move, so it was a very, very slow speed in which he got caught up in. Then the real ride started! The chairs tires were all torn up but that was it.
