NEW YORK – A Manhattan driver involved in a fender bender with comedian Tracy Morgan’s new Bugatti says she “got scared” when the entertainer reacted by pounding on her window and yelling.

Jocelyn Madulid of Jersey City, New Jersey told the New York Post on Tuesday that she initially didn’t know who the other driver was.

Madulid says an officer told her it was a “famous guy.” A tour guide on a double-decker bus remarked, “Oh, that’s Tracy Morgan!”

The Bugatti is reportedly worth $2 million.

Morgan’s outburst was caught on video.

An email requesting comment was sent on Wednesday to Morgan’s representative.

In 2014, the former “30 Rock” and “Saturday Night Live” star was seriously injured when a truck hit the limo van he was riding in. Comedian James McNair was killed.

Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version erroneously reported the gender of the other driver. The driver was a woman, not a man.

About 1,500 people were still without electricity Tuesday afternoon as Manitoba Hydro crews continued working to clear downed trees and repair power lines following a fast-moving, violent and destructive storm that tore through a chunk of south River Heights Sunday evening.

Many of those residents are not expected to have power restored until sometime Wednesday, Hydro said.

City firefighters will be going door-to-door to check on people dealing with extended power outages.

“Starting this morning, Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service firefighters will be going door-to-door in affected areas to check on residents who have been without power since the storm and whose outage may reach 72 hours in length,” a news release sent out by the city Tuesday morning said.

Four teens dead in crash near Winnipeg Beach

1 minute read Yesterday at 4:52 PM CDT

Four teenagers have died in a highway crash near Winnipeg Beach.

Manitoba RCMP are investigating the two-vehicle collision, which happened at about 9:15 p.m. Sept. 6. A vehicle travelling west on Highway 229 was struck while crossing Highway 8, RCMP stated in a news release Monday.

Everyone inside the westbound vehicle died at the scene, including the driver, an 18-year-old female from Winnipeg, and three passengers: an 18-year-old male from Gimli, an 18-year-old female from Sandy Hook and a 17-year-old male from Ear Falls, Ont.

The intersection is controlled by stop signs for westbound and eastbound traffic. Both vehicles went into the southwest ditch, with one vehicle rolling and landing on its roof, RCMP stated.

Slow start but gritty play not enough in Bombers OT loss to Roughriders in Labour Day Classic

REGINA – Leave it to Brady Oliveira to succinctly describe that fine line between jubilation and the alternate.

In the aftermath of another Labour Day Classic that went down to the wire, Oliveira went through the joy of tying the game with no time left on the clock to the empty feeling that came moments later when the Saskatchewan Roughriders finished off a 32-26 victory on Sunday night before a raucous crowd of 34,352 at Mosaic Stadium.

“It’s terrible,” said Oliveira. “You just kind of feel all of the emotions. I’m pretty pissed right now. We were close, we were right there. We didn’t play our best football and we still gave ourselves a chance, which could be a silver lining.

“I don’t like to look at silver linings because the fact of the matter is we play this game to get positive results. We want to win the game and we didn’t win the game. So, I’m pissed.”

There is a point in every government’s life when blaming the previous government stops being an explanation and starts becoming an excuse.

For Manitoba’s NDP government, that point has arrived.

Justice Minister Matt Wiebe was asked last week about a grievance filed by Crown attorneys over excessive workloads and a government attempt to keep a report documenting those workloads out of an upcoming arbitration hearing.

Wiebe said he couldn’t discuss the arbitration case.

Time to ditch role as ex’s emotional crutch

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I mourn the end of summer every fall, but this year it’s far worse. My partner (a man, like me) broke up with me and my menagerie of animals.

The hardest part is that he still calls me before he goes to sleep at night — to see if I’m OK, and to tell me essentially, to buck up! Nothing like losing somebody and being told to be happy about it by the exact person you’ve lost.

He goes on about his new life and the people he’s meeting, and sometimes I just have to hang up on him.

Why does he bother calling? It seems like he maybe doesn’t know if he’s completely through with me yet, so he’s using me as a crutch. (Do I sound bitter?) What can I do?
