California has some of the most severe vehicular manslaughter laws in the country.

Vehicular manslaughter also known as vehicular homocide is a crime when a result of driving while committing an unlawful act that does not amount to a felony.

A felony. Felony 3. There are several factors also involved such aggravating and mitigating factors. The sentence can go as high as life depending on the persons criminal background.
