A 22-year-old Yuba City woman died Saturday after swerving into on-coming traffic on State Route 20 and losing control of her vehicle. Lorretta Deniz was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Sutter County Sheriff's Department. Just after 8 p.m., Deniz was driving east on what's known as Colusa Highway, near Drexler Road, according to the California Highway Patrol. A witness told police that Deniz crossed the center line into on-coming traffic, swerved right in response and then overcorrected, ending up in the wrong lane again. The front left of Deniz's Chevrolet hit the front left of a Ford van driven by Adolfo Jimenez, 23, of Oakland, police said. The van, which had 10 passengers including an infant, flipped over Deniz's vehicle, skidding to a stop on the dirt shoulder. Nine out of the 11 people people in the van suffered injuries and were taken to five hospitals. Most were not wearing seatbelts, police said. Jimenez, the driver, suffered a broken leg and was taken to Rideout Memorial Hospital in Marysville. The other passengers received spine and pelvic fractures, police said. The infant, a 6-month-old girl who was not in a car seat, was taken to UC Davis Medical Center with a skull fracture, according to police. The passenger in Deniz's vehicle suffered minor injuries.

Firefighters were forced to 4-wheel drive their emergency vehicles over the bike trail Saturday to reach a two-alarm wildfire along the American River Parkway North. The blaze near Highway 160 and Northgate Boulevard was reported just after 7 p.m., said Capt. Jim Doucette of the Sacramento Fire Department. It was difficult for firefighters to access the flames because they were burning deep inside thick brush, Doucette said. The firefighters finally drove their vehicles over the bike trail along the American River and were able to put the fire out quickly. Officials are still determining the cause of the fire. More »

A two-story Oak Park home burned Saturday, capping off a busy Fourth of July for the Sacramento Fire Department but ending the day with no one hurt. "It definitely could have been a lot worse," said city Fire Capt. Jim Doucette. "We were lucky and hopefully people are paying attention to the messages we've put out." The two-alarm fire in the 3400 block of 12th Avenue was reported at 10:18 p.m. About 50 firefighters were successful in keeping the blaze from spreading to a home next door, Doucette said. The fire burned heavily in the back of the house and probably left about $65,000 worth of damage, he said. The residents weren't at home when the fire sparked but there were illegal fireworks going off throughout the neighborhood when firefighters arrived, Doucette said. "There's a good chance it was fireworks related, but I haven't been able to confirm that yet," Doucette said. More »

Many of those spending plans are based on tax revenue projections that have been wrong throughout the recession - and may be unreliable again. More »
