COMAL COUNTY, Texas \u2013 A San Antonio man has been charged with intoxication manslaughter after a woman riding in his vehicle died during a crash on April 14 in Comal County, according to an arrest warrant obtained by KSAT.<\/p>\n
Preston King, 22, was arrested on June 16 and booked on a $200,000 bond, according to Comal County records.<\/p>\n
The crash happened during the early morning hours on U.S. Highway 281 near Farm-to-Market Road 1863 in Bulverde. <\/p>\n
According to the warrant, a Bulverde police officer spotted a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze traveling more than 100 mph in a 65 mph zone in the 33000 block of Highway 281. <\/p>\n
The officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver, later identified as King, continued speeding and the officer lost sight of his car, the warrant states.<\/p>\n
A short time later, a Comal County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputy found a wrecked vehicle under the Highway 281 overpass near FM 1863 that matched the description of the car that the Bulverde officer had been pursuing.<\/p>\n
Authorities found three occupants, including King, inside the vehicle, the warrant states.<\/p>\n
King was taken to the hospital, and a woman and a dog riding in the vehicle were pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
The woman was identified as Alyssa Sepeda, the warrant states.<\/p>\n
During their investigation, investigators learned that King was traveling at a high rate of speed before he went airborne over 100 feet and crashed under the overpass, the affidavit states.<\/p>\n
Investigators obtained data from the car\u2019s black box through search warrants, revealing the vehicle was traveling at 111 mph five seconds prior to the crash and 74 mph half a second before impact, authorities said.<\/p>\n
His medical records showed he had a blood alcohol level of .138 and cannabinoids in his system, the affidavit states.<\/p>\n
A warrant for his arrest was issued on June 12. Records show that King posted bond on June 17.<\/p>\n
