Black was driving on a Cantonment road, just north of Pensacola, in January 2019, when he swerved into the oncoming lane and hit another car head-on, officials said. The other vehicle’s driver, Antoinette McCoy, 22, and her brother, Sean Banks, 15, were seriously injured in the crash. The siblings were airlifted to a Pensacola hospital, where they died, officials said.
Black suffered no major injuries. An analysis of his blood sample, taken after the crash, revealed the presence of Xanax and cannabis in his system, prosecutors said.
