But first, your local weather:

Here are the top three stories in Victoria today:

1. Two separate vehicle crashes took two lives on Saturday night. Johnathan Wayne Vesely, of Victoria, careened off the road creating a one-vehicle crash. His vehicle rolled over several times before he was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. It occurred at 9:27 p.m. The crash is under investigation. The other crash-involving two vehicles- took place at 6:40 p.m. in Port O'Conner. Karen Logan Fleeman, passenger in the car driven by Terrell Lee Fleeman, was apparently killed. Fleeman is recovering in the hospital, and Kyle Gordon Ganzelle, driver of the other vehicle was not injured. The crash remains under investigation. (Victoria Advocate)
