State v. Roggenkamp

¶1 The primary question presented to us in this consolidated review is whether the term “ [i] n a reckless manner,” which appears in the vehicular homicide and vehicular assault statutes, is defined by the “willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property” language of the reckless driving statute. We answer “no” to that question, holding to the well-established definition of the term as “driving in a rash or heedless manner, indifferent to the consequences.” We, therefore, affirm the decision of the Court of Appeals in each of the cases before us.
