The driver involved in a one-vehicle crash that killed competitive stand-up paddle surfer Sophia Tiare Bartlow had a blood alcohol concentration more than twice the legal threshold for drunken driving, according to the Honolulu police accident report.

The report says the driver’s BAC was 0.162 five hours after the Jan. 28 crash. The legal threshold for drunken driving is 0.08 BAC.

Police said Bartlow, 26, was a passenger in a speeding pickup truck that crossed the centerline and crashed into a tree on the opposite side of Waialua Beach Road. Bartlow was pinned when the truck rolled over onto the passenger side. An ambulance took her to Wahiawa General Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

A police officer who went to the accident scene said in his report that the 35-year-old man identified himself as the driver and Bartlow’s boyfriend. Three bystanders told police they helped the driver out of the truck, rolled the vehicle off Bartlow and tried to keep her calm until the ambulance arrived.

Bartlow and the driver went to the Wahiawa hospital in the same ambulance.

According to the police report, a nurse at the hospital said the driver told her, “This all happened because of alcohol.”

The nurse said the driver told her that he and Bartlow had left a party after drinking and that Bartlow wanted to go to another party to continue drinking. When he said no, the driver said Bartlow got angry, hit and pushed him and grabbed the steering wheel, the report says.

The driver was treated for a cut to his left arm, had a blood sample taken for police to test, then was released to police.

State law requires police to obtain a sample of the blood, breath or urine for alcohol testing of drivers involved in traffic collisions that result in death or injury.

At the time of the filing of the accident report, Honolulu police had not received the test results of the blood sample taken at the hospital. However, the driver agreed to have his breath tested at the Honolulu Police Department’s Wahiawa Station. It was the breath test that registered 0.162 BAC.

Police arrested the driver for negligent homicide, then released him pending further investigation.
