SUTHERLAND, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a Washington man has died in a western Nebraska accident.

The Nebraska State Patrol says 45-year-old Nickolay Gorlov was heading west on Interstate 80 near Sutherland around 10:55 a.m. Friday when his van ran off the roadway and struck a tree.

The patrol says investigators suspect a medical condition caused the accident. The patrol says Gorlov lived in Vancouver, Washington.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Fate of the Furious” has sped into first place at the box office again.

Studio estimates Sunday say the eighth installment in the “Fast and the Furious” franchise earned $38.7 million over the weekend. The new competition didn’t stand a chance against the high-octane film, which had the biggest global debut of all time last weekend.

Disney’s animal documentary “Born in China” earned $5.1 million to open in fourth place, behind holdovers “The Boss Baby,” with $12.8 million, and “Beauty and the Beast,” with $10 million.

Two other new movies fared worse.

Warner Bros.’ thriller “Unforgettable,” starring Katherine Heigl and Rosario Dawson, opened at No. 7 with a $4.8 million.

The Armenian genocide drama “The Promise,” with Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale, took ninth place with $4.1 million.

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average price of a gallon of regular-grade gasoline jumped 3 cents nationally over the past two weeks, to $2.46.

Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said Sunday that consumers could see price increases slow as crude oil costs drop.

The national average is 28 cents per gallon above the price a year ago.

Gas in San Francisco was the highest in the contiguous United States at an average of $3.04 a gallon Friday. The lowest was in Jackson, Mississippi, at $2.09 per gallon.

The U.S. average diesel price is $2.59, up 1 cent from two weeks ago.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska lawmakers who have worked to erase a nearly $900 million projected revenue shortfall could face a new challenge next week when a state board approves new revenue estimates.

The projections set for release Wednesday could force senators to make last-minute tweaks to the $8.9 billion, two-year budget package.

The proposed budget would increase spending by an average of 1.1 percent for the next two-year cycle that begins July 1. That’s far less than average.

State revenue has fallen short of projections partly because of a sluggish farm economy. Sen. John Stinner of Gering says another drop could force lawmakers to cut more, tap the state’s rainy-day fund or pass a law to temporarily reduce the amount of money the state needs in its reserves.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — State wildlife experts are reminding people to leave baby animals alone if they find them.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says the best course of action is to leave wildlife alone and not try to rescue the animal.

In the case of deer or other birds or mammals, the mother may be eating or drinking nearby. It is normal for a doe to leave a fawn to help keep it from being found by predators.

The commission says it’s also not a good idea to try and raise wild animals as pets. As animals mature, they become more independent and follow natural instincts to establish their territories.

And animals that have been rescued are poorly prepared for life in the wild.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says a slowly-growing mountain lion population is suspected of killing some of the state’s also-thin bighorn sheep herds.

Mountain lions are strongly suspected of having killed five bighorns between June and March, and nine since 2015, in western Nebraska.

Sam Wilson, the commission’s carnivore program manager, told commissioners Friday at a Norfolk meeting that he’s “very concerned about this.”

Nebraska started reintroducing bighorn sheep in 1981. Most of the five herds suffer setbacks from disease and poor lamb survival.

Mountain lions are native to Nebraska, but were eliminated by the end of the 1800s. Cougars from neighboring states started returning in the 1990s, and there are small breeding populations at three western Nebraska sites.

GERING, Neb. (AP) — A 28-year-old Gering man has agreed to plead guilty or no contest to charges of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl in a plea agreement with prosecutors.

Celestino Aguayo had been charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child and other counts. In a deal with prosecutors, the charges have been changed to third-degree sexual assault of a child and attempted sexual assault. He faces up the five years in prison when he’s sentenced June 1.

Police say the girl told investigators last year that Aguayo had fondled her and sexually assaulted her on other occasions.

Police learned of the assault when the girl’s family contacted authorities last May.
