Mike Blanche, 21, was crossing a Michigan highway in his wheelchair when he became stuck to the front of a semi-truck and was pushed for miles before the unknowing driver was pulled over by police. Blanche escaped unharmed, saying, "It was quite a ride.”

Witnesses said that Blanche was attempting to cross the street on Wednesday when the light turned green and the truck took off, never seeing the wheelchair in front of him or the fact that it had attached to his front grill. Fortunately, Blanche had been secured to his wheelchair by a seat belt and didn't fall out. The truck reached 50 mph during the 4-mile trip down Red Arrow Highway,

About 4 p.m. Wednesday, a caller told police dispatchers, "You are not going to believe this: There is a semi-truck pushing a guy in a wheelchair on Red Arrow Highway," state police said in a release. Authorities initially wondered whether the report was a prank call until others called with similar reports.

When the truck was finally stopped by police, the driver didn't believe the officers until he stepped from his cab and saw for himself. Officers were surprised to see that Blanche was in a calm state."The man spilled his soda pop, but he wasn't upset," said Sergeant Murphy of the State Police. Murphy said when they arrived at the scene, the man told them, “Yeah, I'm fine. I just went for a little ride.”

When Sgt. Murphy had first got the call from the dispatcher, he said the incident was labeled as a car/pedestrian accident and he was prepared for a scene much worse than what he found. "We were obviously relieved to see that everyone was okay." He said the family was notified within a few minutes and someone came to pick him up. Blanche was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

Officers who responded to the scene said the fact that the man was unharmed made this story that much more unbelievable. "Many accidents don't end well for most people, so it's quite amazing that no one was hurt," another officer said. "Obviously someone was watching over him yesterday. I could go another hundred years in law enforcement and never see that again.”
