Linda is driving drunk when her car hits Sally’s car. Linda is entirely at fault in the accident. Sally has a large wound on her abdomen from the accident and is taken to the hospital by ambulance. At the hospital Sally is given an antibiotic that she is extremely allergic to, even though the hospital’s records clearly note she has this drug allergy, and Sally also specifically noted it when she was admitted. Sally dies due to an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. Linda is charged with “vehicular homicide,” which includes “operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, which causes the death of another.” If Linda is convicted of vehicular homicide, is her conviction likely to be upheld on appeal?
