OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Officials say a teenager had been drinking and ran a red light when her car slammed into a pickup just north of Omaha, killing another teen who was in the car’s back seat.

The crash happened Friday night just blocks north of Northwest High School.

The Douglass County Sheriff’s Office says an 18-year-old man died in the crash. Deputies say a man in the front passenger seat of the car was flown to an Omaha hospital in critical condition. The 18-year-old driver was also taken to a hospital in serious condition.

The driver of the pickup and a 12-year-old passenger in the truck were not injured.

The names of those involved had not been released by midday Saturday.

DAKOTA CITY, Neb. (AP) — Two men have been charged with first-degree murder for the death of an Emerson man whose severed arm and leg were found in the trunk of a car in northeastern Nebraska.

25-year-old Andres Surber and 18-year-old Misael Galvan-Hernandez were charged Friday in the death of 41-year-old Kraig Kubik.

Authorities believe Surber and Galvan-Hernandez went to Kubik’s trailer home on Tuesday demanding he turn over a car that had once belonged to Surber. The next day, officials said they found a large amount of blood in Kubik’s yard.

Investigators say they found bloody clothing and a key to a Chevrolet Impala at Galvan-Hernandez’s home in Wakefield. Officials later found the Impala on property owned by Suber’s family in Dixon County, and Kubik’s remains in its trunk.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A jury has acquitted a Haitian immigrant of kidnapping and sex abuse of an underage girl.

Fednol St. Cyr was found not guilty of the count Friday evening. It took the jury less than two hours to acquit him of the charges.

St. Cyr had faced life in prison on the kidnapping charge alone. Prosecutors had said St. Cyr ordered the girl into his truck on April 5, refused to let her get out and sexually assaulted her.

St. Cyr’s defense attorney, James Martin Davis of Omaha, Nebraska, had said Cyr sought to help the girl when he picked her up because he thought she was in distress. Davis painted the girl as a troubled teen whose testimony was inconsistent and unreliable.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The University of Nebraska at Omaha has named its royal homecoming pair, but don’t call them king and queen.

The school has joined a growing number of other schools around the country that are moving to gender-neutral homecoming courts to be more inclusive of transgender students.

UNO administrators supported the change to dub homecoming winners as “royals.”

UNO Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Enrollment Dan Shipp says it’s vital UNO demonstrate that it is inclusive and safe for all students. Shipp says the homecoming initiative shows prospective and current students that the university genuinely cares about people of all kinds.

This year’s royals, named Friday night, are Sapphire Andersen, a senior from Aurora, and Nick Rieschl, a senior from Omaha.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man accused of statutory rape had won joint custody of the child that resulted from having sex with her underage mother.

Court records say the woman was 15 in 2012 when she willingly had sex with Zachary Zysset, who was 20 then. Under Nebraska law, people 19 and over cannot have sexual contact with people under 16.

Zysset’s been charged with sexual assault of a minor. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call Friday from The Associated Press.

The woman reported the 2012 incidents to Buffalo County authorities earlier this year, although she said most of the sexual encounters occurred in Adams County. An arrest warrant affidavit says an Adams County sheriff’s investigator learned that Zysset later established paternity and won joint custody of the little girl.

PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — A 27-year-old Omaha man has been given probation and some jail time for the crash death of a motorcyclist in Sarpy County.

Online court records say Joshua Spencer was sentenced Thursday to 20 days in jail and two years of probation and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine. Spencer had pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of vehicular homicide. A traffic violation was dismissed in exchange for his plea.

The accident occurred May 29 on the west side of La Vista. Police say the eastbound motorcycle collided with Spencer’s westbound car that turned left in front of the motorcycle. The motorcyclist was identified as Jeremy Liford.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — State regulators have reinstated the license of a Lincoln surgeon who was accused of practicing medicine while impaired.

Dr. Scott Strasburger’s license was reinstated last week. In December 2014 he agreed to a suspension after he was accused of being impaired when he arrived at work in November 2014. He was on track to reinstatement until June 2015, when he was involved in a hit-and-run traffic accident. This past February the 53-year-old was sentenced to a year of probation.

State health officials say Strasburger will be subject to drug and alcohol testing for the next five years.

Strasburger played football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 1981 through 1984.

TEKAMAH, Neb. (AP) — About 75 people have helped harvest the corn planted by a man who died in October after driving into a cloud of anhydrous ammonia that leaked from a pipeline near his home north in northeast Nebraska.

Authorities say the anhydrous ammonia, a farm fertilizer with suffocating fumes, leaked from the pipeline near Tekamah on Oct. 17.

Hazmat workers and Tekamah firefighters responded to reports of a motorist who needed help and moved 59-year-old Phillip Hennig to a safe area, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Friends and neighbors came out Wednesday to harvest Hennig’s 650 acres of corn. Neighbors have already harvested Hennig’s bean crop.

Magellan Midstream Partners, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, has been repairing the 8-inch-diameter pipeline that carries the fertilizer.
