that could be heard in a packed emotional courtroom tuesday morning. liz ford took the stand after passing by and looking in the eyes of the man that killed her husband troy ford in a hit-and-run. "he was extremely silly, very loving and caring, could be a little ornery at times, but through the last 19 years plus a few years of being together before that, whatever we went through, no matter how bad it was, we always came out on the other side much stronger." but on august 8th, life took an unexpected turn for the couple. liz, a nurse and private paramedic, and troy,who worked in private security, did what they normally would do when coming across someone in need. they went to help dustin suppi, after finding him slumped behind the wheel of his pickup. suppi woke up and sped away,

causing a trailer attached to the truck to run over troy. "my law enforcement family, more people than you will ever know who went above and beyond to to track you down as you tried to flee, but they won," said liz. "they got you." su "right before sentencing, suppi was in tears as he asked for forgiveness for ford's death." "what happened that day is going to forever change my life and i just want to say that i'm sorry and i do apologize." suppi also shared a moment of regret. "i'm just really sorry from the bottom of my heart because i did not mean to run your husband over," said suppi. "if i knew what help was like, then i probably would have accepted your help. i have an addiction problem. my life is ruined because i am an addict." an apology that liz says she may not ever be able to accept after the pain it has left her with. "i see the flashbacks constantly of troy rolling out from under that trailer, laying in the street, which i can't drive on by my house anymore, laying in the hospital and laying in his coffin," said liz. a tragedy that will not only haunt liz but will have a lasting impact on two families

in sioux city, tiffany lane ktiv news 4.>> suppi was sentenced up to 25 years in prison. to hear liz's full statement in court today, look inside this story on ktiv.com. an explosion this evening in sac county, iowa sent three people to the hospital. the sac county sheriff's office says the explosion happened at proliant at 101 main street in lytton, iowa. the three were involved in welding in a storage tank when the explosion happened.

meerdink has done. once he converted the trucks in his companies fleet to compressed natural gas opposed to diesel. "it'll keep our trucking company competitive long-term," said scott meerdink. competitive-- because he saves per gallon. "it offers a more consistently lower priced fuel, especially for companies that own a number of vehicles," said stephanie weisenbach. and drives quite a number of miles like his trucks do, delivering grain and feed ingredients. the shell gas station in sioux center he's filling up at is the first in northwest iowa. "now in this part of the state, the answer to that question is that they do have somewhere to refuel," said stephanie weisenbach. meerdink even converted his personal truck. motor companies like gm, ford, dodge and honda offer domestic cars that would run on natural gas. but with only eight places to fill up in the state, using natural gas isn't as wide-spread domestically. there's a lot of questions you'd need to ask yourself like if you "drive enough miles for that upfront investment to make sense," said stephanie weisenbach. it cost meerdink about $8,000 to convert his truck. when you add-in his fleet of eight: roughly $400,000. bu his return on diesel since april 2014 is $180,000. "we're going to see return on investment sometime in year five," said scott meerdink. as for fuel mileage, meerdink

"with the action that was taken during last year's legislation we now have over $200 million per year," said iowa gov. terry branstad. in all, approximately $300 million dollars worth of road work. something gov. branstad says will create an economic boom, result in safer communities, bringing the state together. branstad and governors across the country are weighing in on whether or not they want syrian refugees in their states.

about half are adamant about not allowing refugees from syria in light of the paris attacks that left 129 dead and more than 350 injured. "until we have adequate intelligence and safety is protected, we think there should not be any action taken," said iowa gov. terry branstad. a number of presidential candidates have said america shouldn't allow syrian refugees to enter the country. with isis's growing expertise comes the ability to strike far from their strongholds in syria and iraq. nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel reports.

charges against two companies that make and sell dietary supplements. the indictment, unsealed today, accuses dallas based us-labs of falsifying marketing labels and lying about the nature and source of its ingredients. california based s-k laboratories also faces charges. today, a government lawyer said

the firms often failed to properly test the products they sold to determine the products' effectiveness and safety. "the indictment alleges that the defendants sometimes tested the ingredients on themselves and sold the ones that made them feel good. with one product, the defendants allegedly recognized that the substance could potentially cause "liver toxicity." yet without conducting a single test to determine whether that substance was safe, they went ahead and sold it." six individuals were charged and four have already been arrested while two others are expected to turn themselves in. brad's here -- state football titles are up for grabs this week. m-m-c and akron- westfield each play for the big trophies on thursday. we'll hear from both teams in a minute. and, we'll find out where the hawkeyes are in the new playoff rankings.
