Goose involved in fly-by crash with skateboarder

WINNIPEG--A Winnipeg teenager says he was stunned when he was knocked off his skateboard by a low-flying goose. The Canada goose was heading for a pond when it apparently misjudged its landing and flew into Shawn Hacking's face. The 13-year-old suffered two badly scraped knees, a sprained wrist, and a red face where the bird's wing slapped him. His friend Brent Bruchanski told the Winnipeg Free Press: "It was so funny, but I felt sorry for him at the same time. It flew out of nowwhere andthen... Whambam!" Shawn's mother Kim Hacking said: "When he came in, he said, 'I got hit by a goose.' I thought that was some kind of car or something".
