Alcohol found in driver killed with Adenhart
Toxicology tests have detected alcohol in the blood of the driver who was with Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart before a deadly collision in April.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department says Courtney Stewart had consumed alcohol shortly before the crash but says it does not know how much.
Stewart, along with Adenhart and Henry Pearson, died when their car was broadsided April 9 in Fullerton by a minivan allegedly driven by Andrew Gallo. Police have said Gallo’s blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit at the time of the crash. He has been charged with three counts of murder.
