Vehicular Homicide
It is rare, although not unheard of, for an automobile to be used intentionally as a murder weapon. Most vehicular homicide offenses are the result of gross negligence (negligent homicide), recklessness (manslaughter), or conduct exhibiting extreme indifference to human life (second-degree murder). Some extreme DUI accidents resulting in death have been charged as second-degree murder.
