(AP) — Officials say an 11-year-old boy who tumbled down a 200-foot rock slope in northern Utah is recovering and will be released from a hospital Monday.

The Utah County Sheriff’s Office identified the boy as Cesar Varvagan of Orem.

Sgt. Spencer Cannon says the boy was hiking to Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon with his family on Sunday when he tumbled down a rocky, steep slope and came to rest above a trail along the Provo River.

Officials say he hurt his head, back and hip, and might have broken a collar bone. He was airlifted to a hospital in critical condition.

The sheriff’s office said in a statement Monday that the boy’s condition has improved and he’s expected to be released from the hospital Monday.

(AP) — A Sioux City woman has given birth to quintuplets at an Omaha hospital.

Bianca Garcia had a Caesarean section Thursday, and on Monday the four girls and one boy were under close watch in the neonatal intensive care unit at Methodist Women’s Hospital.

Jose Garcia says he feels good but his wife is tired.

She was on bed rest for more than 10 weeks before the babies were born at 28 weeks, or about three months premature. A team of 35 doctors and nurses delivered the babies.

The babies were about 2 pounds each. They’re named Marah, Christobal, Arleth, Jimena and Rosalyn.

The couple has two sons, ages 9 and 7.

Dr. Brady Kerr says the babies “primarily need to grow.”

The last quintuplet birth in Nebraska was in 2009.

(AP) — Health officials in Nebraska’s largest county say a 75-year-old man infected with the West Nile virus is their first case this year.

The Douglas County health department said Monday that the unidentified man has been hospitalized. Officials say he traveled recently to an area in Nebraska where mosquito pools have tested positive for the virus, and they believe he was exposed on that trip.

So far this year, no mosquitoes in Douglas County have tested positive for the virus.

Dr. Adi Pour, the county’s health director, says cases are typically reported around this time of year. Officials note that most people who are infected have no symptoms, or experience mild flu-like symptoms. The most vulnerable people are those who are at least 50 years old or have weakened immune systems.

(AP) — Authorities say an Omaha man was arrested this weekend after a Nebraska State Patrol trooper found 107 pounds of marijuana in his car.

The patrol said Monday that 27-year-old Kortney J. Cunegin of Omaha is charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. He was booked into the Sarpy County Jail.

Cunegin was stopped for speeding in west Omaha while heading eastbound Saturday morning on Interstate 80. The patrol says the trooper smelled marijuana and found two bundles wrapped in black plastic in the car’s trunk.

(AP) — Fog is delaying flights by about an hour in Denver, and some smaller planes are being diverted to other airports because of the low visibility.

The fog is expected to lift by 9 a.m. Monday.

About 15 commuter flights headed to Denver International Airport have had to instead land in Colorado Springs, Durango and Eagle, as well as to Albuquerque, N.M., and Rapid City, S.D.

Fog is unusual in Denver, which boasts of having more than 300 sunny days a year.

(AP) — A Nebraska group is working to build a permanent home in Lincoln for homeless veterans.

The group Operation Veterans Encouraging Recovery held a fundraiser at the Havelock United Methodist Church on Sunday.

The group is working on a house in south Lincoln that was donated in the spring. It will serve as a permanent home for up to four veterans.

The fundraiser drew about 150 people. Another event is set for Oct. 6 at the Crooked Creek Golf Club in Lincoln. Organizers say registration is open through Sept. 22.

(AP) — An Amish woman injured in a buggy crash east of Pawnee City remains in critical condition, but a friend says she is improving.

20-year-old Fannie Yoder was still at a Lincoln hospital as of Sunday afternoon. A nursing supervisor says Yoder remained in critical condition after the July 21 crash, which killed her 17-year-old brother, Reuben Yoder.

But Kathy Monarrez, a friend of Yoder’s who has driven family members to the hospital for visits, says Fannie Yoder has shown substantial improvement since she was admitted to the hospital.

The two were traveling to church in a horse-drawn buggy on Nebraska Highway 8/50 when they were struck from behind by a Cadillac. The Cadillac driver was treated for minor injuries.

(AP) — Repairing the faulty pedestrian bridge near Lincoln’s new arena is becoming costly.

Investigating the failure of two of the bridge’s girders will now cost at least $84,000. The group overseeing construction of the Pinnacle Bank Arena approved a new contract with an engineering firm on Friday.

Whoever is responsible for the bridge problems will be expected to pay the repair bills.

The faulty girders in the $7.9 million bridge are expected to be replaced soon. Officials expect that roughly 5,000 people will use the bridge to cross from the arena to parking.

Lincoln Police say an intoxicated 22-year-old man fell off the bridge Sunday morning. His injuries were not life threatening, and he was ticketed for trespassing.

(AP) — An eastern Nebraska town’s police chief died two days after a motorcycle crash on Interstate 80.

Aurora Police Chief Godfrey Brokenrope died Saturday evening at a Lincoln hospital.

Brokenrope had been hospitalized ever since he crashed his motorcycle Thursday on I-80 near Seward.

The Nebraska State Patrol says Brokenrope was unable to stop his motorcycle quick enough when traffic slowed, and he crashed in the median.

Aurora Mayor Marlin Seeman says Brokenrope had been chief since 2006. Previously, he had been a police officer in Grand Island, Aurora and the military.

Seeman says Brokenrope was committed to the community and the department.
