Leiva's 26 year old passenger was killed.

It's unclear how fast he was going but the speed limit is 50 miles per hour.

Liu said, "Well, it's sad. I mean we'll never know but possibly if she had her seat belt on it could have saved her life.”

"The lesson learned here is to not drink and drive," said Liu.
