SACRAMENTO, CA | Truck crashes through parking lot smashing into parked cars. At hospital, gun shot discovered and victim dies.
Late Friday evening, a white pick-up truck blazed across the parking lot at Hard Time Billiards on Garfield Blvd. and slammed into several parked cars shoving them up against the structure.
On scene security personnel advised us that CHP found a large amount of “weed” in the truck and we later witnessed CHP removing what appeared to be marijuana in a jar from the vehicle.

The victim has been identified as Steven Carmassi, 35, of Sacramento by the Coroners office.
