Yes, you read that correctly.According to the AP story above, the man, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, was crossing at an intersection in Paw Paw, Michigan, (which is about 140 miles west of Detroit) when the light changed to green while he was in front of a semi. The semi started moving, the handles got stuck in the grille...and the next thing the poor guy knew, he was hurtling down the highway like some stunt out of JACKASS III.
Thankfully, the story has a happy ending.
A couple of undercover cops happened to see what was happening, pulled over the truck and told the "disbelieving" driver. The man was unharmed although he was taken to the hospital as a precaution (and to clean the massive doody stain out of his underwear).
Can you imagine driving down the freeway with your wife or girlfriend and seeing that?!
REALLY COOL MZONE READER: "Holy shit!"
FORMER ASU CHEERLEADER WIFE/GF: "What?"
R.C. MZONE READER: "I just saw a man. In a wheelchair. Doing 50 on the highway. Stuck to the front of a semi."
FORMER ASU C. W/GF: "Damnit, Paul! What have I told you about drinking and driving?! That is the last three-way we're having with my old sorority sisters if you keep that up!"
P.S. Uh, what the hell are undercover cops doing in Paw Paw, Michigan?

So is this what you boys do for fun when you put the snowmobiles up for the summer?
One other question: Paw Paw?
I thought we Alabamians had cornered the market on eccentric small town names - Intercourse, Ankle Scratch, Remlap (Palmer spelled backwards), etc.
Well, from what I gathered, the poor guy in the wheelchair decided not to get to excited about it. You know, he doesn't like getting carried away.
Ugh - that sucked.
The cops weren't looking for meth, they were looking for pot, which outside good ol A2 limits is punishable by death.
Anyone heard of Rainbow Farm? Just south of Paw-Paw, two activists were killed and their farm was burned to the ground. If you don't remember, its probly cause 9/11 happened days afterwards.

Stephen Hawking just texted, "Space, bitches, space."
I have been informed by my colleagues that I was in error earlier, re: Ankle Scratch.
It's actually Scratch Ankle, Alabama. Thank you, Google Earth.
i am assuming the truck driver not only had a buckstache, but was returning from lane ave, having recently caught his masters degree.
somehow, someway does video exist???
and i believe that the driver was in disbelief, he was probably heffed up on goofballs and looking to stop at a roady's.
cops in paw paw, meth obviously
Thank God he's all right--that is truly a miracle.
Maybe the cops got a tip that there were Mau Mau's in Paw Paw.
