Vehicular manslaughter occurs when an individual unintentionally causes the death of another through negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
Manslaughter by definition is unintentionally causing the death of another individual through negligent or wanton means. This is different from homicide based on the perpetrator's state of mind - homicide occurs when someone acts to intentionally cause harm to another. Manslaughter occurs as an incident to an act that is illegal or negligent (e.g. driving under the influence, reckless driving) but not an act that is meant to cause harm. Therefore intentionally running someone over is not manslaughter, even though it did occur with a vehicle.
