Vehicular homicide, also known as vehicular manslaughter, is a class 4 felony that can result in a prison sentence of 1 - 3 years. Vehicular homicide charges will be applied when a person's death results from a driver operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
Aggravated negligent driving is another serious charge.

Examples of reckless or careless driving that could result in an aggravated negligent driving charge include driving while intoxicated, speeding, and running a stop light.
