The driver, identified as 26-year-old Dylan Molina, ran a red light at the intersection of Boat Club Road and Rocky Point Trail in Lake Worth and struck Cervantes's Impala broadside.
Forensic toxicology reports from the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office showed Molina's blood-alcohol content level was .16, twice the .08 legal Texas limit. The blood test also confirmed the presence of THC.
Molina now faces intoxication manslaughter charges.
