  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:11
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Thursday,
• 0:15
  November 20th, 2025. Let's get you caught up.

  Two separate pedestrian fatalities were under
• 0:22
  investigation yesterday. In the afternoon, CHP
• 0:26
  responded to State Route 160 after a pedestrian
• 0:29
  crossing the northbound lanes near Royal Oaks
• 0:31
  Drive was struck and pronounced dead at the scene.
• 0:35
  CHP says DUI was not suspected. And later yesterday
• 0:40
  evening, Sacramento police were called to Fruit
• 0:43
  Ridge and Power Inn Road around 9 .15 p .m. where
• 0:47
  a man was struck and killed. Officers said the
• 0:49
  driver stayed on scene and cooperated with investigators.

  In City Watch, as we head into the holidays,
• 0:57
  Sacramento County's Bradshaw Animal Shelter is
• 1:00
  reminding families to keep pets safe during all
• 1:04
  the fun and festivities. A few quick tips. Skip
• 1:08
  the table scraps. Chocolate, onions, grapes,
• 1:11
  xylitol sweeteners, and cooked bones can all
• 1:14
  be dangerous. Stick to plain turkey, pumpkin,
• 1:17
  or... Pet safe treats instead. Keep tinsel, ribbons,
• 1:22
  glass ornaments, and cords out of reach and avoid
• 1:25
  toxic plants like mistletoe, holly, and lilies.
• 1:29
  And with guests coming and going, make sure your
• 1:32
  pet has a quiet space and make sure their ID
• 1:37
  tags are up to date. A little planning keeps
• 1:40
  the season merry and safe for your furry family
• 1:44
  members. And weather. As we slide into today,
• 1:49
  it's going to be another rain -soaked start with
• 1:52
  showers tapering off by midday, then cooler and
• 1:56
  calmer conditions settling in for the rest of
• 1:58
  the evening. And events. Are you looking for
• 2:02
  something creative and cozy to do tonight? Sacramento,
• 2:06
  the old Sacramento waterfront is rolling out
• 2:09
  its every third Thursday series. From 4 to 8
• 2:13
  p .m., small businesses will open their doors
• 2:16
  for 15 minute live demos and artist activations
• 2:20
  at the top of every hour. It's a chance to learn
• 2:23
  from locals and get hands on with some seriously
• 2:27
  fun holiday season creativity. See the show notes
• 2:32
  for the list of the participating shops. And
• 2:36
  if you're in the mood for something soulful and
• 2:39
  cinematic. The Crocker Art Museum is presenting
• 2:42
  Black Feminism, Daughters of the Dust. Tonight
• 2:46
  at 6 p .m., it's part of their film series celebrating
• 2:50
  visionary black women directors. This landmark
• 2:55
  1991 classic follows three generations of women
• 2:59
  on the eve of their migration north. It's lush,
• 3:06
  poetic, and deeply rooted in legacy and ancestral
• 3:09
  memory. That's all for today's Sacramento Brief.
