LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — One driver has been killed in a crash involving three semitrailers on Interstate 80 in southeast Nebraska.

The Nebraska State Patrol says the accident occurred around 4:40 p.m. Thursday just west of the Seward exit. The patrol says two eastbound big rigs had stopped because of construction, but a third big rig coming up from behind didn’t stop in time and rammed the rear of one, which ran into the rear of the other truck.

The patrol says the driver of the truck that didn’t stop was pronounced dead at the scene, and a passenger in the truck was flown to a Lincoln hospital. One of the other truck drivers was taken to Memorial Hospital in Seward with minor injuries. The remaining driver wasn’t hurt.

No names have been released.

GRETNA, Neb. (AP) — A man who was tossed from a moving golf car in a residential area near Omaha has died nearly a week after the accident.

The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that Patrick Jurgensen, of Gretna, died at an Omaha hospital on Wednesday night.

Jurgensen was a passenger in the rear of the golf cart around 9:15 p.m. on July 10 as it traveled in a residential area of Gretna. The driver of the golf cart was making a turn when Jurgensen was tossed into the intersection and suffered a head injury.

Sheriff’s Lt. Brian Richards says the accident investigation is continuing so the county attorney’s office can determine whether charges are merited.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — An 83-year-old woman has died after her vehicle accelerated out of a truck stop carwash and struck the side of a ditch in Columbus.

The accident occurred around 8:40 a.m. Tuesday at the Sapp Bros. truck stop.

Police say Donna Wyman, of Silver Creek, was going through the carwash in her sport utility vehicle but failed to stop at its final step. Her vehicle accelerated out of the carwash, crashed through a fence and struck the ditch side.

Police Capt. Charles Sherer says crash investigators will be checking for any mechanical failure and whether Wyman suffered a medical problem that led to the crash.

Platte County Attorney Carl Hart says there was no indication that Wyman had any medical issues.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Autopsies have been ordered on the bodies of a woman and her 18-year-old son found at their west Omaha home.

Douglas County sheriff’s deputies identified the two as Cooper Flanagan and his mother, 54-year-old Maureen Flanagan. Deputies sent to check on the Flanagans’ welfare Wednesday morning found her body in the home’s basement and his in a car in the garage.

Chief Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Thomas Wheeler says it doesn’t appear to be a double homicide but would not say whether investigators suspect the deaths resulted from a murder-suicide. Lt. Mark Gentile says no suspects are being sought.

Gentile says the two hadn’t been seen since July 9 and that investigators think the mom and son had been dead for two days.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former Omaha police officer facing criminal charges in connection to a controversial arrest last year has agreed to a plea deal.

James Kinsella entered a no contest plea Wednesday on two misdemeanor counts of obstructing governmental operations. Other charges, including evidence tampering and theft by unlawful taking, were dropped.

Four Omaha police officers were fired after a March 2013 arrest involving three brothers. A neighbor recorded the arrest, and the footage was posted online. One officer was later allowed to return to work.

The 33-year-old Kinsella was accused of illegally confiscating a cellphone memory card and throwing it away. He and another former officer were charged in the case.

Sentencing is scheduled on Aug. 28.
