Here are the top stories in Sacramento today: The inaugural Tunnel to Towers Foundation race in Sacramento was a huge success bringing in a crowd of more than 200 people who raised over $20,000 to pay off the mortgages of homes belonging to young families of first responders killed in the line of duty. The foundation, created originally to support and honor the hundreds of responders who died on Sept. 11, now supports families across the nation who experience similar losses.

Officials said the vehicle crashed into the house and damaged the gas meter. The driver was taken to a nearby trauma facility. Their condition is unknown. (KCRA3) A 29-year-old Stockton motorcyclist died on Saturday on the connector between I-5 and Highway 50. The man was riding with other motorcyclists on the southbound Interstate 5 to eastbound Highway 50 connector when he failed to negotiate a sweeping right-hand turn and allowed the motorcycle to drift left and collide with a concrete railing east of the roadway. The rider was ejected from his motorcycle and fell 60-70 feet onto the pavement, receiving major injuries, the CHP says. He was pronounced dead at the scene. (CBS Sacramento)12-year-old Grant Loftin is about to get a birthday he won't soon forget. This kid loves classic cars! His mom wanted to surprise him on his birthday with a ride in one, so she posted on Facebook asking the community for help. It turns out the perfect person read her Facebook post. Grant has autism, and there's a guy in the community who understands just what that means, because his son has special needs, too. Bill Steffey is going to take Grant for a ride in his '55 Chevy. "I have the car, I have the music that he asked for and it was very easy to say yes," said Steffey. It'll be a fun birthday surprise for Grant!
