David called authorities after the accident, and assured them that he hadn't been drinking. He claimed that he had been blinded by the sun when he hit Jose. Amazingly, the police took David's word about being sober, and didn't perform any tests for alcohol or drug use. (
The National ENQUIRER previously reported on how David turned
Larry Hagman on to LSD back in the '60s.) Cops also noted that the victim had been jogging with his back to traffic, which was considered a contributing factor.
