Leyritz Was Driving With Suspended License When Accident Happened

From the NY Post:

January 2, 2008 -- Ex-Yankee home-run hero Jim Leyritz was driving with a suspended license when he allegedly got drunk and smashed into a car driven by a mother of two, killing her, motor vehicle records reveal.

Leyritz, 44, had his Florida driver's license suspended by New York authorities on Nov. 23, according to a New York Department of Motor Vehicles database.

The license was suspended because he failed to answer a motor vehicle summons issued to him in upstate Guilderland, near Albany. Information about the nature of the summons was not available.

This comes after the Post revealed yesterday that Leyritz had seven motor vehicle violations since 2002... Also in the article friends of the victim describe Leyritz as "a known drunk".
