• 0:29
  easy. Now on to news. One person was killed and

  three others injured in South Sacramento crash

• 0:39
  light at 47th Avenue and Franklin Boulevard,

  crashing into another car. Alcohol is believed
• 0:44
  to be a factor and the driver was not wearing
• 0:47
  a seatbelt. And overnight, police were busy again.

  Sacramento police are investigating a burglary

  at a tattoo parlor on X Street. Officers found
• 0:57
  the door open and the security cameras torn off
• 1:00
  at a business near 27th and X Street. This investigation
• 1:04
  remains active. In City Watch, Sacramento County

  after last week's storm damage cut off water
• 1:17
  service. Anyone with pre -scheduled appointments
• 1:20
  or weddings should check in before heading over

• 1:26
  turn, Sacramento begins its reset, starting with
• 1:29
  holiday tree recycling. If your holiday tree
• 1:33
  is ready for its encore, Sacramento County has
• 1:36
  free recycling options for you this month. Live
• 1:39
  trees with all lights, tinsel, nails. and stands
• 1:43
  removed can be dropped off January 3rd and 4th
• 1:46
  over at the Kiefer Landfill or the North Area
• 1:50
  Recovery Station. With additional drop -off sites
• 1:53
  available across the region through January 10th,
• 1:56
  flocked trees are not accepted for recycling.
• 2:00
  Those need to go in the garbage cart. County
• 2:03
  residents with organic service can cut up live
• 2:06
  trees and place them directly into the green
• 2:08
  cart as long as that lid will completely close.
• 2:12
  And one reminder, please don't leave trees on
• 2:15
  curbsides or roadways. In today's weather, we're
• 2:20
  going to expect widespread dense fog through
• 2:22
  the morning with pockets of frost before 9 a

  .m. Once that lifts, the skies turn partly sunny
• 2:29
  with cool high near around 50 degrees with light
