A driver from Little Rock is facing charges including negligent homicide and driving while intoxicated after he caused a crash that killed a motorcyclist, authorities said.

Antonio Sanchez Enriquez, 42, remained in the Pulaski County jail Monday morning with bail not yet set after his arrest Sunday night.

The Pulaski County sheriff's office said Enriquez's vehicle crossed the centerline about 5 p.m. Sunday in the 17000 block of Lawson Road. It hit one vehicle, drove on the wrong side of the road and then hit the motorcycle, police said. The rider died at the scene.

According to an arrest report, a breathalyzer revealed Enriquez had a preliminary blood alcohol level of 0.18, more than twice the legal limit.

He faces additional charges including endangering the welfare of a minor, reckless driving, driving left of center, driving without insurance and driving without a license.

An Oct. 21 court date is set.
