When you cause death of another person while driving recklessly or negligently, that is defined as vehicular manslaughter. If you are driving under the influence and cause death of another person, this is defined as a DUI vehicular manslaughter which is charged as a felony. Vehicular manslaughter carries penalties as severe as 4 years and up 10 years in prison.

Gross vehicular manslaughter is one of the most serious charges someone with a DUI can face. The judge can impose a 10 year prison sentence for each person killed. The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person was driving under the influence and had a blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher and that the person committed an infraction or misdemeanor while driving under the influence with gross negligence that caused the death of another person.
