Police said Fleming, who was driving the Tacoma, was brought to the NOPD Traffic headquarters for testing, and his female passenger was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
Officials said blood and alcohol tests are pending and the investigation is still ongoing.
Fleming faces various charges, including third-degree feticide and negligent homicide.
