GOODLAND, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Highway Patrol says a two-vehicle collision in western Kansas killed five people and left others injured.

The accident occurred early Wednesday on Interstate 70 in Sherman County about 11 miles east of Goodland.

The patrol says a semi-trailer truck hit an SUV from behind, causing the vehicle to go into a ditch and overturn. Five people in the SUV were killed. An exact number of those injured was not immediately available. The driver of the SUV, 42-year-old Calvin Florez of Guatemala, was taken to a Wichita hospital.

The names of the other victims have not been released.

The driver of the truck was not seriously injured.

PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — Authorities in southeast Missouri have been searching for a Kansas man who hasn’t been seen since Sunday.

Police in Sikeston, Missouri say 66-year-old Larry Weaver, of Pittsburg, checked into a Sikeston motel and failed to check out Monday. Police Capt. Jim McMillin says hotel staff contacted police Tuesday after realizing Weaver and his 2013 Harley Davidson motorcycle were gone, but personal items such as a wallet, credit cards, keys and clothing were left in the room.

He says police haven’t ruled out foul play. Weaver was last seen on a surveillance camera getting gas near the hotel Sunday evening.

McMillin says crews used a helicopter Tuesday to search for Weaver, whose family says had no medical problems.

BRANSON, Mo. (AP) — A 77-year-old man who said he robbed a Branson bank to get access to health care has been sentenced to two years in federal prison.

Joseph Cyrus of Hollister was sentenced Wednesday for robbing the Central Bank in November.

The Springfield News-Leader reports Cyrus will serve his sentence at a medical facility.

His attorney, Ian Lewis, said Cyrus changed his mind and now wanted to be released from the Greene County jail and be on probation so his family could care for him. District Judge Douglas Harpool said it was a difficult case but he didn’t feel comfortable giving a bank robber probation.

Cyrus was also ordered to pay $14,669 restitution. He stole almost $31,000 from the bank but claims to have dumped half of it into a river.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Officials say a West Point cadet from Missouri is on life support after he tried to save a swimmer who was caught in a rip current off a Long Island beach.

Police say 18-year-old Thomas Surdyke, of Festus, Missouri, was pulled from the waters following a rescue attempt on Friday at Coopers Beach in Southampton, New York.

Newsday reports Janice Laiben Surdyke, who says she’s his mother, posted on Facebook late Tuesday that he would be on a ventilator for the next 48 hours so he can donate his organs.

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point says a cadet is on life support following a Long Island beach incident but couldn’t release further details.

Officials say the swimmer Surdyke tried to rescue is OK.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Republican gubernatorial candidate Eric Greitens is selling so-called “ISIS hunting permits” to raise money.

Greitens’ campaign distributed an email Wednesday promoting bumper stickers with the words “ISIS HUNTING PERMIT 2016.”

The sticker says it expires when “we defeat this evil.”

The campaign is selling the mock hunting tags for a $10 donation. For $100, donors can get stickers signed by a former Navy SEAL who claims he killed Osama bin Laden.

Greitens is a former Navy SEAL officer. He’s touting his military background in his campaign for governor.

He faces a competitive four-way Republican primary Aug. 2. Also running are suburban St. Louis businessman John Brunner, former U.S. Attorney and House Speaker Catherine Hanaway and Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A judge says residents of Kansas, Georgia and Alabama will have to prove they are U.S. citizens when registering to vote for federal elections using a national form.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon sided Wednesday with a U.S. elections official who changed the proof-of-citizenship requirements on the form at the request of the three states without public notice.

Residents of other states need only to swear that they are citizens, not show proof.

The judge refused to issue the temporary injunction sought by a coalition of voting rights groups to overturn the unilateral move by Brian Newby, the executive director of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.

The groups argue the requirements hurt their ability to conduct voter registration drives and deprive eligible voters of the right to vote in federal elections.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. (AP) — A 75-year-old man has been charged with sexually assaulting two residents at a Nebraska City nursing home.

Online records say Terry McClane, of Union, remained in Otoe County custody Wednesday. He’s charged with two felony and two misdemeanor counts of sexual assault and two felony counts of abuse of a vulnerable adult. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for him.

Prosecutors say McClane began visiting the Golden Living Centers facility while his wife lived there and continued after she died May 15. Staffers became suspicious after a June 17 incident and called police. Two residents say McClane sexually assaulted them between Jan. 1 and June 17.

Golden Living Centers Executive Director Jade Harrah says the facility is cooperating with authorities and the residents’ relatives.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gov. Jay Nixon is backing a proposed power line in Missouri that’s part of a multistate wind energy project.

Nixon on Wednesday announced Clean Line Energy Partners has promised to adopt what he described as landowner protections.

The project would transmit electricity from Kansas, across northern Missouri and Illinois to Indiana. Electricity would be available for Missouri utilities.

It’s been criticized by some landowners concerned about the line hurting farming and property values.

The Democratic governor said Clean Line agreed to avoid damaging farmland and to pay the higher amount for reassessed land that dropped in value.

A regulatory panel will decide whether to approve the Grain Belt Express if it reapplies. The Missouri Public Service Commission last year denied it.

Missouri is the only state that hasn’t approved it.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri attorney general’s office says more must be done to determine how a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on abortion laws affects Missouri regulations.

The nation’s highest court this week ruled that some Texas regulations are medically unnecessary and unconstitutionally limit women’s abortion rights.

Missouri has similar laws requiring abortion doctors to have privileges at nearby hospitals and clinics to meet hospital-like standards for outpatient surgery.

Attorney General spokeswoman Nanci Gonder on Tuesday said the Supreme Court ruling calls into serious question the constitutionality of some Missouri laws.

But she said more evidence needs to be developed in Missouri for a judicial determination on how the ruling impacts state regulations.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt is asking the state’s highest court to reconsider rulings earlier this year that motorists suspected of drunken driving cannot be punished for refusing to take sobriety tests.

Schmidt cited a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Minnesota and North Dakota cases in filing his request Monday with the Kansas Supreme Court.

Kansas law has punished a motorist’s refusal to take a breath, blood or urine test with up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,250.

But the state Supreme Court ruled in February in four cases that the law was invalid because of protections in the U.S. Constitution against warrantless searches.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last week that motorists could face criminal penalties for refusing to take breath tests.
