The man involved in a deadly car crash that killed an 8-year-old girl in April was under the influence of drugs, according to police.

Investigators said Bernabei plowed his jeep into an SUV that was pulled to the shoulder lane. The crash killed a little girl inside the SUV.

Bernabei is facing several charges, including murder.
