Chaos At Monster Truck Event

A “Rednecks with Paychecks” monster truck event in Montague County spiraled out of control when a participant got into an argument and drove his truck through a crowd, damaging vehicles and injuring people.

Jonathan Earl Reid, 36, reportedly hit a utility terrain vehicle with his truck, sparking an argument that escalated to the point of throwing rocks. Click here to see a video of the incident.

In response, Reid went on a rampage with his truck, running over a Jeep and hitting five people, two of whom required hospitalization.

Witnesses say Reid was intoxicated during the attack. He faces five felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was released after posting a $200,000 bond.

Plans Unveiled For I-35 Decks

The City of Austin unveiled updated renderings for a proposed “cap-and-stitch” project over I-35, which involves building decks over lowered freeway lanes.

The renderings were presented at a Saturday open house and reflect input from 1,800 residents, with popular amenities including recreational spaces, event areas, and public art.

The project aims to create up to 30 acres of new public space and connect the east and west sides of the city.

Only one section between Cesar Chavez and Fourth Street has secured funding, with completion expected by 2032. The city council could vote on a comprehensive plan for the project in November.

Tyler Is Best U.S. City For Retirees

Sugar Land (No. 6), Wichita Falls (No. 8), Abilene (No. 9), and McAllen (No. 10) also made the list.
