SACRAMENTO, CA -- What was believed to be a fatal traffic accident in a south Sacramento neighborhood has turned into a murder investigation.  

Sacramento police officers were called to 15th Avenue and Franklin Boulevard Thursday just after 11 p.m. after a Honda CRV crashed into a house.  

SACRAMENTO, CA - A tentative agreement is on the table. 

The Sacramento Area Firefighters Union has agreed to partially restore several safety units and reopen some fire companies in the city.  If the agreement is accepted, city firefighter salaries and benefits will be cut.

"This deal is conceptual and much will be required in the coming days to hammer out the specifics and get it ready for council approval," said Jaymes Butler, union vice president.

The deal, if approved, would partially restore fire company closures now in effect. In addition, rescue, HAZMAT, and boat rescue programs would be reinstated.

The deal could take several weeks to complete, but could be finalized as early as Aug. 15.

"Firefighters know that this is a fiscal crisis that hits everybody," said union spokesman Todd Filbrun.  "We want to do our part to make sure the citizens of Sacramento are safe."
