LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — One driver has been killed in a crash involving three semitrailers on Interstate 80 in southeast Nebraska.

The Nebraska State Patrol says the accident occurred around 4:40 p.m. Thursday just west of the Seward exit. The patrol says two eastbound big rigs had stopped because of construction, but a third big rig coming up from behind didn’t stop in time and rammed the rear of one, which ran into the rear of the other truck.

The patrol says the driver of the truck that didn’t stop was pronounced dead at the scene, and a passenger in the truck was flown to a Lincoln hospital. One of the other truck drivers was taken to Memorial Hospital in Seward with minor injuries. The remaining driver wasn’t hurt.

No names have been released.

GRETNA, Neb. (AP) — A man who was tossed from a moving golf car in a residential area near Omaha has died nearly a week after the accident.

The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that Patrick Jurgensen, of Gretna, died at an Omaha hospital on Wednesday night.

Jurgensen was a passenger in the rear of the golf cart around 9:15 p.m. on July 10 as it traveled in a residential area of Gretna. The driver of the golf cart was making a turn when Jurgensen was tossed into the intersection and suffered a head injury.

Sheriff’s Lt. Brian Richards says the accident investigation is continuing so the county attorney’s office can determine whether charges are merited.

PILGER, Neb. (AP) — Not even a tornado will stop Pilger from hosting its annual summer festivities.

The Pilger Days event starts at 6:30 p.m. Friday with a horseshoe tournament, a high school alumni banquet and a chance to visit the Stanton County Historical Society Museum.

Festivities will continue Saturday starting at 9 a.m., with a children’s story time event, a mud volleyball tournament, a lunch and barbeque, and other activities.

Organizers will hold a fundraiser Saturday afternoon with a $1,000 goal. The highest contributor will get to use a Taser on Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger.

The village is also hosting its annual Sweet Corn and Hamburger dinner on Aug. 6. Several 5- and 10-gallon drink containers were lost in the tornado. Containers can be left at the village clerk’s office.

NELIGH, Neb. (AP) — A man whose vehicle injured four children when it ran through their backyard campsite in northeast Nebraska has made a plea deal.

43-year-old Stephen Barrington, of Oakdale, on Wednesday pleaded guilty to four counts of misdemeanor assault and one count of driving under the influence. Prosecutors dropped two other charges in return for Barrington’s pleas. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 3 in Antelope County Court in Neligh.

Antelope County Sheriff Bob Moore has said Barrington drove his sport utility vehicle through his home’s backyard, hitting a tent with five children near it. Four of the children were treated at a hospital. Moore said Barrington was arguing with his wife before the accident.
