By DUI Defense Attorney on January 18, 2010

San Diego 10 News.com reported that a woman entered a plea of not guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. The woman was allegedly driving along a street in Poway when she veered off into the bike lane, onto a curb, and hit a mother of two who was walking along the side of the road. The woman who was hit, a pedestrian, was killed. The accused woman is suspected of being under the influence of depressants.

Vehicular manslaughter is defined as a crime that results in the unintentional death of a person while driving a vehicle in an illegal manner. If the charge also includes gross negligence, then the definition includes driving with extreme recklessness and no concern for the well-being of others. This crime is a felony and penalties for a conviction can be up to 10 years in prison.
