At 12:32 am early Monday morning, the 37-year-old Brito, of Costa Mesa, was driving southbound on Fairview Street towards Edinger. According to a Santa Ana police press release, he lost control of his vehicle and veered off the roadway and into the adjacent flood control channel. One of his two companions, apparently not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the car.
Police and emergency responders at the scene found the ejected passenger, who was pronounced deceased at the scene, while Brito and the other passenger were transported to a local hospital for treatment of their injuries.
Based on the initial investigation of the accident, Brito was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, and vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. After treatment, he was booked into the Orange County Central Jail. The names and relationships of his two passengers have not been released at this time.
