A man turned himself into investigators on Sunday after fatally striking a bicyclist on a highway, then leaving the scene, according to Oregon State Police.
If you got drunk, tossed a brick into the woods hit someone and accidentally killed a person it would be treated very similar to vehicular manslaughter in most states in the US.
Your issue is that don’t bump up manslaughter charges to a second degree murder cause car?
Most times (at least around these parts I am) manslaughter hardly ever gets applied. They seem to treat it as an unrelated death. Jim has an “accident” and sadly Sue has passed away. Maybe if the police are feeling frisky we might get an “unsafe operation of a motor vehicle”.
