The wagon was rammed from behind by a car, tossed in the air and his 18- year- old grandson was left lying on the road. " I was thinking he's dead," said the man who would only identify himself as Bob. He was in the lead horse- and- buggy team and his grandson and two other young men were behind him when they were hit from behind on Highway 6 just north of the M�tis community of St. Laurent. " The wagon went up in the air and went up over the guy's car," the man said Saturday. " My grandson was lying on the road." He is in Health Science Centre, heavily medicated and waiting for tests, he said. Another boy was taken to Stonewall for stitches. The third is in stable condition and undergoing CT scans. No horses were injured in the crash, police said. The wagons were privately owned. Police did not release any further information Saturday.

Rollover kills ATV driver In Brief HANGING out with gangsters several years ago left Oscar the Derbyan parrot with a nasty vocabulary. Oscar's language is cleaner now, and her owners are decent, law- abiding citizens. But she's gone missing after escaping from her Sage Creek home Friday evening. Owners Brent Smith and Suzi Bonk are asking the public to help them find their beloved Oscar. Oscar has a bright blue head, a black mask around her eyes and brilliant green feathers. Her chest is mauve. Smith said Oscar is friendly to people and other birds even when hungry and afraid. " If someone sees her, they should approach her slowly but confidently, and put out their forearm," Smith said. " They should say ' step up birdie,' or ' step up Oscar,' and then take her inside of their house shut the door behind them. Then call us and we'll come get her right away." Smith and Bonk have set up a Twitter account under the account name @ OscartheParrot where people can get updates on the search. In 2001, Oscar escaped and spent several hours outside during a frigid December day before a stranger found her hanging out with pigeons outside the Manitoba Museum. Oscar climbed onto the stranger's shoulder and the pair boarded a bus to the stranger's home, where Oscar dined on peanuts. That same night, someone broke into the stranger's apartment, stole Oscar and sold her. Oscar was bought and sold a number of times over the next four months. Two of the exchanges were between Manitoba- based gangs. A Winnipeg police officer later returned Oscar to her owners. She picked up a few bad words while living with gang members but was not harmed otherwise. Anyone with information about Oscar is asked to phone Smith at 204- 296- 8204 or Bonk at 204- 230- 8341. The couple is offering a $ 300 reward for the safe return of Oscar. - staff If you spot Oscar, call her owners Oscar the parrot is missing.
