I'm not sure it was necessary to include that the driver was a Hispanic man. What value is this intended to add? Other that reinforcing the idea that Hispanic drivers drive drunk and crash cars.

Oh, it was a passenger looks like. My comment still stands as intended, however.

@bkengland As soon as the coroner releases the victim's information, we will replace the description released by the CHP with his name. Also, the driver is suspected of drunken driving, not convicted, and must be considered innocent until proven guilty.
