Authorities said Preiser was one of the other two drivers involved. He allegedly crossed over into the other side of traffic and crashed into Ayers.
Preiser faces charges including negligent homicide with a motor vehicle, traveling unreasonably fast and failure to drive in the proper lane. He was held on a $245,000 bond and is expected to appear in court on Nov. 6.
The investigation remains ongoing.
