The big trucks roared across the dirt and flew on top of cars crushing them. This is just a glimpse of the demolition at last night's Monster Jam.

The event continues through the weekend, with one show Saturday night and another Sunday afternoon.

And topping off the fun, Action News Reporter Jessica Peres had the honor of singing the National Anthem Friday night to get the event started. Copyright KFSN-TV, www.abc30.com, and myabc30.com.

Vacaville man faces charges in fatal truck crash Friday

A 31-year-old man from Vacaville was identified Saturday as the fatal victim of a collision between two pickup trucks on Friday in the Suisun City area, which a witness said was sparked by reckless driving.

The victim's full name was being withheld, but the California Highway Patrol reported the arrest of 32-year-old Robert Pettitt, also of Vacaville, on suspicion of felony vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated.

According to a departmental release, the suspect and victim were both northbound on Grizzly Island Road around 7:15 p.m. on Friday when the victim, in a 1989 GMC pickup, attempted to overtake Pettitt, who was driving a Ford F450 pickup. The vehicles were approaching the intersection with state Highway 12 and Sunset Avenue.

The victim steered the GMC pickup onto the road's southbound lane to pull even with Pettitt's northbound vehicle, but for some reason the vehicles collided and went airborne, according to the report.

Major savings from low emission Nissan gas fleet

A move to LPG lift trucks featuring Nissans exclusive Tri-Cat engine management system has created major savings in exhaust emissions and materials handling costs for the UKs market leading manufacturer of raised access flooring.

Kingspan in Hull is one of the worlds largest producers of the systems used to raise floors in office buildings for the installation of cabled services.

A typical system comprises floor pedestals supporting chipboard panels that are encased in galvanised steel. With three lines at the Burma Drive site turning out over 150,000 finished panels every week, the pace of production is impressive - and the materials handling requirement is intense.

Some 50 lorryloads of high density chipboard in 2.4 x 1.8m panels are received each week, together with palletised drums of adhesive and 50 tonnes of steel coils.

New car, new hopes for Williams

As Jess Williams continues to chase his dream of driving in NASCAR's Craftsman Truck Series, he could sure use a big sponsor and some money.

His new truck might bring him just that.

Tonight, the 21-year-old Hickory Flat native will begin his third full season running in the Super Trucks Division of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Racing Series at Nashville's Music City Motorplex.

He'll actually have to use last year's truck this weekend, while the new one gets tweaked. After a very fast test session in Nashville on Tuesday, Williams can't wait to see what his new ride can do in competition.

"That truck's going to be a rocket when we get it dialed in," Williams said.

Williams called the test session a "bonzai run" because the truck was far from being in race shape. - Vehicle Transport
