HARTINGTON, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a South Dakota man has been fatally injured in a northeast Nebraska collision.

The crash was reported a little after 5:15 p.m. Sunday on U.S. Highway 81 in Cedar County, about 4½ miles south of Yankton, South Dakota. The Cedar County Sheriff’s Office says a northbound pickup collided with a van that was merging from the shoulder into northbound traffic.

The office says the pickup rolled several times, ejecting a passenger. He was pronounced dead later at a Yankton hospital. He was identified as 45-year-old Delwin Chavis, of Hudson, South Dakota.

The pickup driver was identified as 58-year-old Randyl Kruid, 58, of Hudson, and the van driver was identified as 64-year-old Andrea Sudbeck, of Fordyce, Nebraska.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A woman accused of child abuse in the death of her 4-year-old daughter wants her trial moved out of Madison County.

Lawyers for 21-year-old Carla Montoya last week filed a request for a change of venue. The motion said extensive coverage of the case and online comments by potential jurors would prevent Montoya from having a fair trial in Madison County.

Her trial is scheduled to begin July 11. She’s pleaded not guilty to a charge of intentional child abuse.

Court documents say Montoya told Norfolk investigators that she had tossed her daughter Caylee into her bed three times on March 12. Montoya said she thought her daughter may have hit her head on the bed frame or a wall.

HUMPRHEY, Neb. (AP) — A new memorial is being planned to honor veterans in the city of Humphrey in Platte County.

Nembers of the Humphrey American Legion Foltz-Zuerlein Post 80 are working with an architectural firm from Hawaii to have the memorial built in Heritage Park.

Retired U.S. Army Reservist Geri Wemhoff said the architectural firm is donating its work. According to Wemhoff, the current memorial in the park is small and needs to be upgraded.

Wemhoff said that they hope donations will finance a large portion of the memorial’s construction, which could be completed within one to two years.
