Here are the top stories in Reno today:
- It's that time of the year when the community gets together to distribute coats to kids in need through the Big Reno Coat Drive. The coats are given to kids right away, through a partnership with Education Alliance and the school district. The drive goes through Nov. 20 and drop-off locations can be found at bigrenocoatdrive.org. (KTVN)
- A man is charged in connection with a hit-&-run crash that killed a pedestrian late last month in Carson City. NHP says Catarino Sotelo Jacinto was driving a silver 2002 Nissan Frontier pickup north on Carson Street when he hit the pedestrian, 49-year-old Charles Hodges of Gardnerville while Hodges was crossing the on-ramp in the crosswalk.

- A study at the University of Nevada, Reno found that while forests of pine and fir trees get a lot of attention, the more ubiquitous and colorful quaking aspen is a keystone species that is experiencing substantial increases in mortality and decreases in growth over the past three decades across most parts of its geographic range in North America.
