(AP) — Authorities have released the name of a 14-year-old boy who was killed in a southeast Nebraska traffic accident.

The boy was identified as Trevyn Roth, who lived with his parents in rural Milford.

Chief Deputy Dan Hejl (hayle) of the Seward County Sheriff’s Office said Friday that the accident occurred just after 7 p.m. Thursday about four miles southwest of Pleasant Dale. Hejl says the vehicle went out of control and rolled.

Hejl says a teenage girl and another teenage boy in the sport utility vehicle were injured. They were taken to a Lincoln hospital. Their names haven’t been released.

(AP) — An eastern Nebraska farmer has found a man who’d been trapped inside a wrecked vehicle for about 17 hours.

Authorities say the vehicle crashed off Nebraska Highway 36 and down an embankment into a ditch around 6 p.m. Saturday. The accident occurred a little more than a mile east of Bennington, which sits on the northwest side of Omaha.

Farmer Jim Musel saw a damaged guardrail along the highway a couple of hours later but didn’t see the truck until Sunday. He checked it and found the driver still inside.

The 66-year-old driver was cold, so Musel retrieved a coat from his truck and took off the coat he was wearing. Then he used them to cover the man until rescuers could arrive.

The man was taken to a hospital.

(AP) — A woman has escaped flames that damaged a house in eastern Omaha.

The blaze was reported a little after 4 a.m. Monday. The woman escaped unharmed, and firefighters rescued four dogs from inside the house. A fifth dog was reported missing.

The fire’s cause is being investigated.

(AP) — Cold weather and a federal program priority change have combined to provide what may be a misleading drop in the number of homeless people in Lincoln

There’s been a 12.4 percent drop over the past year.

This year’s count of unsheltered people was done Jan. 22, when the wind child was minus 18. Officials say the colder the night, the lower the number of people outside in a place where they can be counted. Officials say that count was not definitive.

Also, the U.S. Housing and Urban Development shifted money from what’s called transitional services to permanent housing services and to a new program called Rapid Rehousing. People in transitional housing are counted as homeless. People in permanent or Rapid Rehousing programs are not.

(AP) — A trial has been ordered for a 46-year-old Genoa man charged with manslaughter in the crash death of his mother.

Arraignment in Platte County District Court is scheduled March 28 for Michael Logan.

Logan is accused of driving drunk when he turned in front of oncoming traffic northwest of Columbus on Dec. 10. Authorities say Logan was driving south toward Columbus on U.S. Highway 81 when he tried to turn left. His vehicle was struck on the passenger side by a northbound car driven by 42-year-old Jeannine Velazquez, of Norfolk.

Logan’s mother, 63-year-old Lois Reynolds, of Genoa, was fatally injured. Logan and Velazquez were also injured.

Logan’s attorney declined to comment Monday.

Police say the accident occurred a little before 7 p.m. Sunday. Police Chief Chad Sprunk says 69-year-old Joseph Hynek (HEE’-nehk) told officers that he was driving north on H Street when the girl walked into his car’s path and he couldn’t stop in time.

Sprunk says the girl died at Jefferson Community Health Center in Fairbury. She was identified as Krista Medina (mah-DEE’-nah), who lived in Fairbury.

The accident is still being investigated.

(AP) — Northeast Community College is planning to build a new resident hall to address an ongoing student housing shortage.

Construction plans were announced last week when the college’s board of governors met. The new building will be located near the college’s two existing residence halls and two student apartment complexes in Norfolk.

Northeast Community College President Michael Chipps says administrators will issue revenue bonds to pay for the project. Construction plans call for a 79,000-square-foot residence hall that can accommodate about 200 students. It’s expected to cost about $11 million.

More than 715 students applied for 315 available beds in the fall of 2013.

(AP) — Investigators are still trying to find the cause of a large brush fire near Salt Creek in Lincoln.

The fire on Saturday scorched a large area between the Salt Creek Levy Trial, a line of train tracks to the west, and West A and South streets. Fire investigator Don Gross said authorities have ruled out a passing train.

Firefighters say the blaze could have caused millions of dollars in structural damage, but crews were aided by off-duty firefighters and volunteers. Fire damage to foam board, shingles, trucks and a trailer at White Castle Roofing was expected to reach $200,000.

Gross says the fire appears to have started on a ridge, about 50 to 75 meters east of the train tracks.

(AP) — A man who was distributing religious fliers outside of Lincoln’s Pinnacle Bank Arena faces a trespassing charge.

76-year-old Larry Ball was jailed after he approached strangers and asked if they wanted a small, green booklet titled “How to Know God.”

Ball was standing outside the arena during the Nebraska Boys State Basketball Tournament, which drew thousands of spectators. The arena sits on public property, land owned by the city of Lincoln and the West Haymarket Joint Public Agency.

The arena’s security staff called police when Ball ventured beyond traffic barricades near the arena. Lincoln police officer Brian Ward says Ball had been warned several times, but still chose to step onto the property.
