CRAWFORD, Neb. (AP) — A truck making a delivery to a uranium mining company has overturned and caused a minor hazardous chemical spill in northwestern Nebraska.

Dawes County Deputy Sheriff Scott Swickward says a tankard truck hauling a trailer slipped down a rig early Wednesday morning while delivering a chemical to Crow Butte Resources, Inc. near Crawford. He says the leak resulting from the accident is not a public threat, but nearby residents were evacuated as a precautionary measure.

Swickward says only a valve broke on the truck, causing hydrochloric acid to drizzle out. He says Nebraska hazmat crews have responded to the scene and are working to clean up the spill.

Hydrochloric acid forms a mist that can have an erosive effect on human skin, eyes and other organs.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A mobile message sign set up outside the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus police station has been providing a three-part plea for safety in language that even non-text-savvy people will understand.

First it says, “Stay alive.”

After a few seconds comes the second part: “Don’t text and drive.”

Then finally: “OMG.”

Assistant campus police chief Charlotte Evans said she wanted the message to be snappy. She says that, “If you drove past it and it made you smile, it did what it was intended to do. It got your attention.”

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — International scammers have bilked an Omaha commodities company out of more than $17 million dollars.

An executive with The Scoular Co., which employs 800 and has about $6.2 billion in annual revenue, wired $17.2 million last summer to a bank in China after receiving emails instructing him to do so from someone pretending to be Scoular’s CEO Chuck Elsea and the company’s outside auditing firm.

Court documents say the emails used addresses set up in Germany, France and Israel and computer servers in Moscow.

The FBI says the emails appeared genuine and contained elements of truth, including references to Scoular expanding in China and the company official’s work with the auditing company.

Elsea says the business will not be affected by the loss.

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A grand jury has decided that charges aren’t warranted against a Norfolk officer who struggled with a man who later died.

The 42-year-old man, Andrew Murphy Sr., died at a hospital after the incident at a Norfolk motel on Jan. 7. The grand jury concluded on Tuesday that no crime had been committed by the officer, who has not been named. Nebraska law requires that a grand jury investigate whenever someone dies in custody or while being arrested.

Madison County Attorney Joe Smith said Wednesday morning that he would release autopsy results later in the day.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former Nebraska day care employee has been sentenced to six years in prison for possessing and distributing child pornography.

Online court records say that at his sentencing on Tuesday, 36-year-old James Klinkner was given credit for 364 days already served. He’d made a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to two counts each of possession with intention to distribute and of visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct. Twenty-nine other counts were dismissed.

The former La Petite Academy worker was arrested after police in Bellevue received a tip from someone in Germany who said Klinkner had shared the porn. Authorities say Klinkner had two child porn images on his computer and had emailed them 31 times.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln police have identified the 30-year-old truck driver who died in a two-vehicle crash that shut down Interstate 80 for nine hours.

Authorities say Emil Galabov of Harwood Heights, Illinois, was driving in a semitrailer west on the highway when his vehicle collided with another tractor-trailer on Sunday morning.

Officer Michael Schaaf said in his crash report that Galabov was thrown from his vehicle.

Galabov was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

Schaaf says the other driver, a 53-year-old man from San Diego, California, wasn’t injured in the wreck.
