Jamestown (CSi)  The North Dakota Highway patrol reports, three people were injured in a two vehicle accident in Kidder County Friday morning about 5:55 a.m. on Interstate 94 near mile marker 202.

 KEENE, N.D. (AP) – A three-vehicle crash in McKenzie County has killed three people and injured three others.
 
     The Highway Patrol didn’t immediately identify any of the people involved in the incident shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday on a county road north of Keene.
 
     Authorities say a car driven by an Arizona woman tried to pass a pickup, then hit the truck after noticing an oncoming vehicle and trying to get back into her original lane. The truck collided head-on with the oncoming sport utility vehicle.
 
     The SUV overturned in the ditch. The Idaho man driving it died at the scene, along with a male passenger from Michigan. A male passenger from Watford City died at a Minot hospital.
 
     Another SUV passenger and the pickup’s two occupants were injured. The car’s driver wasn’t hurt.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man has been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison in a sexual abuse case that goes back about 18 years.
 
     A jury in November found Donald Luger guilty of aggravated sexual abuse by use of force. Authorities say the assault took place against a 12-year-old girl in 1997.
 
     Prosecutors argued for a sentence of 20 years. Defense attorneys asked for a sentence of two to three years.
 
     U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson sentenced Luger, of Fort Yates, to 138 months in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release.
 
     Luger’s attorney, Dwane Cates, says his client maintains his innocence and will be appealing.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The triggerman in a fatal shooting in Grand Forks a year ago has been sentenced to life in prison.
 
Delvin Shaw was sentenced Friday, two days after the other suspect in the case was given eight years in prison under a deal with prosecutors.
 
     Dametrian Welch had pleaded guilty in March to facilitating murder and agreed to testify against Shaw in the June 2014 death of 24-year-old Jose Lopez. A jury last month convicted Shaw of murder and burglary.
 
     Authorities say Lopez was shot three times in his Grand Forks apartment. They say Lopez wasn’t the intended target, but that Shaw went to the wrong apartment.

  BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A 19-year-old Bismarck man has been cited for speeding after the state Highway Patrol clocked him driving 137 mph on Interstate 94.
 
     Authorities say Thomas George was traveling east on I-94 in the Bismarck metro when he was spotted by a North Dakota Highway Patrol trooper.
 
     George was driving a modified 1999 Ford Shelby Mustang and was allegedly racing another driver, who evaded authorities.
 
     George was issued a $310 speeding ticket and a $100 ticket for racing.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Fargo and Moorhead, Minnesota, in a dispute over a toll bridge between the two cities.
 
     A district court judge last year awarded ownership of the bridge to the cities, after a 25-year lease agreement between the Bridge Company and the cities expired. The owners appealed, arguing that the bridge was still in debt and had a right to an extension to recoup losses.
 
  Justices upheld the district judge’s decision.

In sports…

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Two junior national champions from the North Dakota State University men’s track and field team are competing at the 2015 Pan American Junior Championships this weekend in Edmonton, Alberta.
 
     Freshmen Payton Otterdahl in the discus and Matt Bedard in the 400m hurdles will go up against the best athletes under age 20 from the Americas after claiming national titles in their respective events earlier this summer.
 
     The Pan Am junior division is limited to athletes who do not turn 20 years old until at least 2016.

In world and dnational news…

MIAMI (AP) – On the issue of Cuba, Hillary Rodham Clinton is drawing a sharp distinction with two Republican rivals from Florida. Clinton Friday called on Congress to end the trade embargo that the U.S. has imposed on Cuba since 1962. She accused Republican presidential candidates of approaching Cuba and Latin America as if the Cold War hadn’t ended. She didn’t mention names, but Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush have been among the most vocal critics of President Barack Obama’s decision to establish diplomatic relations with Cuba.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – The State Department is releasing a smaller-than-expected number of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s emails. The department says the process of releasing the emails is being slowed as U.S. intelligence agencies examine the emails from her private server to make sure they don’t contain any sensitive or classified government secrets. In emails the State Department released Friday, the government censored passages to protect national security secrets at least 64 times. Clinton has said she never sent classified information from her private email server.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – He’s signed a temporary measure with transportation funding — but President Barack Obama says the U.S. government can’t keep funding highway and transit projects “by the seat of our pants.” The three-month measure is the 34th short-term transportation bill since 2009. Obama says Congress needs to stop leaving business until the last minute. He says that’s not how countries like China or Germany operate.
 
     CINCINNATI (AP) – A University of Cincinnati police officer who is charged with murder for shooting a motorist during a traffic stop is trying to get his job back through his union. Officer Ray Tensing was fired shortly after his indictment Wednesday on charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter in the death of 43-year-old Samuel DuBose. Tensing pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on bail Thursday. His union has now filed a grievance against the university over his firing — saying he didn’t get a pre-disciplinary conference or a copy of the formal charges.
 
     FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) – A federal judge in Alabama is dismissing a lawsuit filed by a pregnant prisoner who sought an abortion. The judge says the prisoner has changed her mind and now wants to deliver the child. He spoke after meeting in his office with the woman privately and asking her in open court whether she really wants to drop her request for an abortion. She told the judge she’s making the decision to keep the child voluntarily. The woman filed suit seeking an abortion last week. Her change of heart came after the state tried to strip the woman of her parental rights.
