Being sandwiched between New York City and Philadelphia means New Jersey endures more than a few indignities.

Two Topekans suffered suspected serious injuries in a two-vehicle crash in which a man was killed Saturday in southeast Kansas, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.
Gary Alan Flanagan, 74, and Brenda Flanagan, 60, both of Topeka, were taken to Coffey County Hospital in Burlington, according to a highway patrol crash log.
It identified the man who was fatally injured as Raymond McIntosh, 83, of Buffalo in Wilson County.
The crash occurred about 1:50 p.m. on US-75 highway, about 10 miles south of Yates Center in Woodson County, according to the crash log. Yates Center is about 84 miles south of Topeka.
McIntosh, who was driving an SUV westbound on 10th Road, stopped at a stop sign but failed to yield the right-of-way when he pulled onto US-75 and was struck by a car driven by Gary Flanagan, who was southbound on US-75, according to the crash log.
