JOHNSTON, Neb. (AP) — An eastern Nebraska woman has died on a north-central Nebraska highway following a two-vehicle crash along U.S. Highway 20 in Brown County.

52-year-old Sheri Walkling, of Elkhorn, died Wednesday afternoon when the car she was driving crossed the center line and hit a pickup head-on.

A 17-year-old woman from Oelrichs, South Dakota, who was driving the pickup was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital and released.

RUNNING WATER, S.D. (AP) — A Nebraska woman has died after falling into the Missouri River in southeastern South Dakota.

Authorities say 23-year-old Veronica Jo Keeble of Niobrara, Nebraska, fell into the water while she and four others were down near the river by Standing Bear Memorial Bridge.

At least two people jumped into the river to try and save her.

Keeble died at the scene. Two others were flown to a Sioux Falls hospital, one of them with serious injuries.

HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — Fire has destroyed the Asia Market in downtown Hastings.

The fire was reported around 3 a.m. Friday. No one was in the building at the time, and no one was injured.

Firefighters who arrived on the scene saw flames coming from the building’s windows and called for help from other departments.

Fire Chief Kent Gilbert says a firewall kept an adjacent business from receiving much fire damage.

A state fire marshal is investigating the origin and cause of the fire. Gilbert says it appears the fire started in the northwest corner of the building. He says it could be seven to 10 days before the investigation is complete and information is released to the public.
