Vehicular manslaughter (also referred to as vehicular homicide) is the legal term for the crime of causing the death of a human being due to illegal driving of a vehicle. “Illegal driving” includes gross negligence (which, the prosecution must prove), drunk driving, reckless driving, or speeding. You can be charged with vehicular manslaughter for killing a pedestrian, another motorist, or a passenger – even a loved one, in your own car.
