I read a story about this earlier, minus picture. I figured after I saw a picture I’d understand how he possible could have gotten stuck on there. I still don’t get it. When crossing the street, one aims oneself perpendicular to the stopped traffic (those of us who walk do so because it makes sense, those who travel in wheelchairs do so because their chairs simply aren’t equipped to roll sideways). So how the heck did this guy manage to roll in front of the truck and get latched onto its grill at a 90 degree angle to the direction he had to have been rolling in ??? I can sorta kinda maybe see how ONE of the chair handles could have gotten into the grill, but it appears that BOTH are solidly wedged in there.

And it’s impressive that the guy in the wheelchair remained calm about all this. The truck driver must have nearly had a heart attack when he saw it!
