Good morning, Salinas.

Monterey Bay Aquarium is offering free tickets to local residents for visits any day from Tuesday to Sept.

14; eligible residents may reserve up to six tickets online with entry starting at noon on the reserved day. Residents aged 18 and older must show a photo ID and Monterey County residency proof (such as a government issued ID, utility bill, or student identification) on a first-come, first-served basis.

A private aircraft from Salinas experienced a fuel leak shortly after taking off at 9:20 a.m. on August 31 and landed in Cachagua, injuring two people as a Cal Fire helicopter (responding quickly) extricated the occupants.

One person died and five others were injured when a red pick-up truck and a silver SUV crashed head-on on Old Stage Road at Natividad Road on Sunday night in a suspected DUI incident—officers reported that the SUV driver died while passengers sustained serious injuries and the truck driver suffered minor injuries.

The Monterey County Fair closed early Saturday after fights were reported and police responded to a possible shooting and a man with a gun (reports unverified), though no injuries occurred and refunds were offered as it reopened Sunday.
