LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a collision in Lincoln has killed an 8-year-old boy.

Police say the crash happened around 6:30 a.m. Friday, killing 8-year-old Camden King. Police had earlier reported that the boy killed was 10 years old.

The boy was a passenger in a small car driven by his father. Lincoln police say the car pulled into an intersection after stopping and was hit by a large pickup truck. The father was thrown from the car, while Camden was trapped inside the wreckage. Both were taken to a Lincoln hospital, where Camden was pronounced dead.

Camden was a third-grader at Randolph Elementary School in Lincoln.

Police say the pickup driver was not seriously injured.

The crash remains under investigation.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Sioux City man accused of helping to kill a Nebraska man has been given another starting date for his murder trial.

Thirty-year-old Daniel Levering has pleaded not guilty to the July 23 slaying of 36-year-old Vincent Walker, who lived in Winnebago, Nebraska.

The new date: July 17 in Woodbury County District Court. His other starting dates: Oct. 17, Jan. 23, March 20 and April 17.

Police say Walker was washing his car when he was confronted by three people. Police say the group then assaulted him, with one stabbing him and another hitting him repeatedly with a baseball bat. Walker later died at a Sioux City hospital.

Authorities have not reported the arrests of the two other suspects.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska judge has rejected a former Creighton University student’s argument that his fraternity hazed him into a state of intoxication so severe that he unwittingly slashed a woman’s neck.

While hazing by Phi Kappa Psi may have been a part of the February 2017 attack, Christopher Wheeler took many steps on his own that contributed to his level of intoxication, such as illegally purchasing vodka and smoking marijuana, Douglas County District Judge Shelly Stratman said.

“Permitting an involuntary intoxication defense in the context of fraternity hazing would open the floodgates to similar defenses by criminal defendants simply because they were pressured into conformity,” Stratman wrote.

The 20-year-old also failed to provide evidence that he would’ve been physically harmed if he hadn’t participated in the activities, she said.

“A fear of being ostracized by Phi Kappa Psi is insufficient” to claim involuntary actions, Stratman wrote.

Wheeler’s friends have said that he was behaving strangely when he returned from a party at the fraternity. Wheeler entered the dorm room of a 19-year-old student he didn’t know and swiped at her neck with a pocketknife, scarring the woman but not seriously injuring her, according to court records.

Wheeler is charged with second-degree assault and weapon use and is due to stand trial next month. He rejected a plea bargain that would’ve dismissed the weapons count if he pleaded guilty to the assault charge.

Wheeler’s attorney, Steve Lefler, sought to put the fraternity on trial. He also alleged that fraternity members may have tampered with the bong Wheeler was smoking from by slipping in hallucinogens. However, tests on the bong revealed no substances besides marijuana and three other fraternity brothers who used it reported no unusual effects, Stratman said.

Fraternity officials have denied any wrongdoing. Creighton investigated and suspended the fraternity following Wheeler’s arrest.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A former Grand Island police officer is scheduled to be sentenced May 4 after making a plea deal with prosecutors on an assault charge.

Police have said Lyon assaulted the woman the night of Oct. 30 in a Grand Island residence. Police say the assault was not “a domestic offense.”

Lyon has since left the department.
