First responders found Roland Scott Moreno holding Jessica Sun, crying as he rocked her body back and forth, police wrote in his arrest warrant affidavit. Firefighters had to pry him off her so they could get him in an ambulance.
Police visited him at Parkland Memorial Hospital later in the night to interview him about the crash.
Slurring heavily, he told police he had been at a bar and drank "too much," his affidavit says.
He said he veered off the road and lost control of his car because a car was tailgating him and he was trying to let it pass, the affidavit says. Moreno told police he was wearing a seat belt but Sun wasn't.
Moreno wasn't seriously injured in the crash.
He was booked into the Dallas County Jail early Sunday and was released after posting bail.
