Tests show Emilio intoxicated at time of crash

Toxicology tests show that Grammy-winning Tejano singer Emilio Navaira was intoxicated when the tour bus he was driving crashed into freeway barrels in suburban Houston in March, authorities said.

The toxicology tests were released this week, and the Houston Chronicle reported on the results Thursday night on its Web site. The newspaper also reported that Navaira was arrested for driving while intoxicated in September 2000.

Navaira was driving his tour bus March 23 when it slammed into the freeway barrels, throwing him through the windshield. Doctors performed two brain surgeries and repaired an aneurysm on his right lung.
