Preliminary hearing for man charged in deadly DUI crash

Posted: Updated:

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A preliminary hearing is underway for a man charged with causing a deadly hit and run crash on Interstate 805.

Prosecutors say 28-year-old Pedro Sainz was drunk when he lost control of his car in June and slammed into another car. A couple from Las Vegas was killed, and two other people were hurt.

Sainz was arrested two days later after witnesses say he ran from the scene.

A judge will decide if Sainz will stand trial for manslaughter and other charges.
