There are two versions of vehicular manslaughter that typically apply in these DUI manslaughter cases:

• Vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence: charged when a driver was driving under the influence with extremely reckless driving behavior; and
• Vehicular manslaughter with ordinary negligence: charged when a driver was DUI and violated a traffic law, but was not extremely negligent. It can also mean that a driver failed to use reasonable care to prevent injury and/or death.
