Toxicological tests have determined that Michael Weintraub, son of Los Angeles school board member Roberta Weintraub, was not intoxicated when he was killed Dec. 13 in a one-car accident in West Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office said Friday.
Weintraub, 17, had a blood-alcohol level of .05%, coroner’s spokesman Bob Dambacher said. A minimum level of .10% is needed before a motorist can be prosecuted for drunk driving in California.
Weintraub died when the sports car he was driving careened out of control and smashed into a power pole on Sepulveda Boulevard.
