A seven-year-old boy from Longueuil, Que., is alive and well after spending close to three hours buried in a snowbank earlier this week.
Olivier Prescott was playing in a schoolyard across the street from his house on Monday when a snowplow went by and buried him in a mound of snow.
He was unconscious for most the time he was trapped, and Prescott said he doesn't remember much.
His mother, Stéphanie Prescott, said she was shoveling snow in front of their house.
"I didn't see his tuque, and I said to my sister, 'I didn't see Olie like for five minutes'," said Prescott.
After noticing the boy was missing, she rallied most of the neighbourhood to search for him.
Neighbour Barry Haigh and his brother finally made a discovery three hours later.

That boy got really lucky that he was found in time. Those snow plows can make some pretty big piles of snow on the side of the road.
