A crash occurred after a night Calvert Cayatineto spent drinking and partying with two other friends, according to court testimony. When the Plymouth led police on a high-speed chase in and around Crownpoint and Littlewater on the Navajo Reservation, Cayatineto testified, he was a passenger and a friend was driving the car. During the chase, the Plymouth ran several stop signs, traveled with its lights on and off, swerved to avoid police blockades and sped at more than 90 mph, hitting Sophie Billie Martin's other at approximately 109 mph and killing her.
