One person died from injuries they suffered during a single-vehicle rollover accident Saturday night in southwestern Fremont County. The Fremont County Sheriff’s Department said Sunday, the 39-year old Shane A. Stephenson, of Nebraska City, NE., was trapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated by Percival Fire and Rescue personnel. The man was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital in Nebraska City, by Sidney Rescue, and pronounced dead. The Sheriff’s Department says alcohol was believed to have been a contributing factor to the crash.

Officials say they received word of the accident having occurred at 195th Avenue and 230th Street, at around 7:25-p.m., Saturday. When a deputy arrived on the scene, they found Stephenson still trapped in his pickup truck, and bystanders were trying to open the door.

A rollover accident Saturday night in Cass County, about two-miles north of the Cass-Adams County line, sent four teens to the hospital for treatment of what were described as non-life threatening injuries. Sheriff’s officials says the accident happened on Yankton Road, about one-quarter of a mile east of Highway 71. The teenaged driver of the vehicle reportedly told authorities he lost control of his vehicle after meeting another vehicle on the gravel road. Sheriff’s officials say the car rolled twice before coming to rest. All four teens in the vehicle, who were said to have been between 14 and 16-years of age, were transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital, in Atlantic. No names have been released, and additional details are currently not available.

Cardinals beat Phillies 8-3, avoid historic sweep

Sports

May 27th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Roy Halladay gave up a grand slam to Yadier Molina in an abbreviated two-inning start before leaving with shoulder soreness, and the St. Louis Cardinals avoided a four-game sweep with an 8-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The Phillies were looking for their first four-game sweep in St. Louis in 99 years.
 
Adam Wainwright (4-5) allowed a run on seven hits in six innings, thriving in 90-degree heat for his second straight dominant outing. Molina left due to dehydration during an at-bat in the fifth.  All of the Cardinals’ runs came from homers. Carlos Beltran’s three-run homer in the fifth was his NL-leading 15th and rookie Matt Adams, who’s been filling in for injured Lance Berkman at first base, hit the first of his career off Chad Qualls in the seventh.

Halladay (4-5) departed with a 3.98 ERA after an outing that matched the second-shortest outing of his career. The team said the two-time Cy Young award winner was taken out as a precautionary measure and that he’ll be re-evaluated in the next few days.
