There is no statute of limitations. Vehicular homicide is a 3rd degree felony and is defined by Florida Statute 782.071 as follows:
"Vehicular homicide" is the killing of a human being, or the killing of a viable fetus by any injury to the mother, caused by the operation of a motor vehicle by another in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to, another.
Florida criminal statute of limitations is defined in Florida Statute 775.15 as follows:
Time limitations; general time limitations; exceptions.-
(1)
A prosecution for a capital felony, a life felony, or a felony that resulted in a death may be commenced at any time. If the death penalty is held to be unconstitutional by the Florida Supreme Court or the United States Supreme Court, all crimes designated as capital felonies shall be considered life felonies for the purposes of this section, and prosecution for such crimes may be commenced at any time.
(2)
Except as otherwise provided in this section, prosecutions for other offenses are subject to the following periods of limitation:(a)
A prosecution for a felony of the first degree must be commenced within 4 years after it is committed.
(b)
A prosecution for any other felony must be commenced within 3 years after it is committed.
(c)
A prosecution for a misdemeanor of the first degree must be commenced within 2 years after it is committed.
(d)
A prosecution for a misdemeanor of the second degree or a noncriminal violation must be commenced within 1 year after it is committed.
Though Vehicular homicide is generally a third degree felony (can be a first degree felony if the person knew the accident occurred and failed to give information or render aid), there is no statute of limitations since by definition it is a felony that resulted in a death.
