Police have identified the driver and victim of a deadly drunken driving accident in far east El Paso.

Police said Jeffery Henigan, a 27-year-old soldier assigned to Fort Bliss, was driving a gray 2012 Chevrolet Camaro when he rear ended a white 2002 Buick Park Avenue.

"We confirm that Sgt. Jeffery Henigan was assigned to the 1st Armored Division as an infantry team leader. This truly is tragic incident and we offer our sincere condolences to the family," said Major Joe Buccino, a spokesperson for Fort Bliss.

Police said the Buick had pulled out of a private parking lot on Montana Avenue.

KFOX14 was first on the scene as police arrested Henigan, and the passenger of the Buick, later identified as Jaime Sambrano, 33, was sent to the hospital in critical condition where he later died, police said.

The accident happened on the westbound lanes of Montana Avenue and Justice Drive around 12:30 a.m. Monday, and police were forced to close the area during the morning rush hour.

The Buick's driver, Justin Marks 34, was also taken to the hospital for treatment and suffered minor injuries, police said.

Police said speed and alcohol were factors in this accident, and Sambrano was not wearing a seat belt.

Henigan was arrested on intoxicated manslaughter charges.

Police also found a handgun in Henigan's car and he was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon.

Henigan was booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility with bail totaling $51,500.
