First, today's weather: Plenty of sunshine. High: 78 Low: 54. Here are the top stories in Sacramento today: Mayor Steinberg chatting up the metalheads? No, that's not weird. In fact, he called it a thrill. Check out his video of Aftershock where he says he was thrilled to welcome 120,000 fans from all 50 states and 30 countries to the festivities. (Blabbermouth.net)New data shows that the stretch of roadway on Interstate 5 from Del Paso Road to Railyards Boulevard is one of the deadliest stretches of roadway in the state. "It's crazy. It's a lot of people coming into a few lanes all at once," Natomas resident Daniel Sakaya said of the area. The study's authors say drunk driving, speeding and distracted driving are all contributing factors. The California Highway Patrol said there are other contributing factors as well, including a lot of semi-trucks on this part of I-5. (KCRA3) Latino conservationist José González wanted to make sure his community could come together and enjoy the outdoors. He created Latino Outdoors in 2013 as a way to find others like himself, those with similar cultural backgrounds, who like to get out on the trails. Latino Outdoors now has chapters nationwide, and because of his work, González is one of several big names to be featured in a Washington Post newsletter edition that reflects on the status of Latinos in the country. He hopes the platform reminds everyone, even those in the Sacramento region, of the great parks we have right in our own backyard.
