There's an offense called vehicular homicide which in other states might be known as vehicular manslaughter, manslaughter, or they even call it second degree murder. If you kill someone and you're committing a serious traffic offense, one of which is a DUI and the two things are tied together. In other words the impaired driving was the cause and the state can connect the two, then you are going to be facing fifteen years in state prison for each death that occurs. That also could be up to fifteen years per serious injury.

We'll talk about serious injury in a moment but if you have three people who were killed in a wreck and say a head on collision you're facing forty five years and the judge can give you all forty five years if he or she feels that your record justifies that. The thing you need to understand about serious injury by vehicle and vehicular homicide is that these are going to be counted as felonies which carry all of the problems that a felony carries. If you are in a wreck and you may be charged later with this offense you need to see someone immediately. There are steps that need to be taken to protect your rights.
