1Opinion of the Court
FREDERICKA HOMBERG WICKER, Judge.
|2The defendant/appellant, R.V., appeals his conviction and sentence for vehicular homicide in violation of La. R.S. 14:32.1. He argues that the State did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that his intoxication caused the accident that led to the victim’s death. After a thorough review of the record, we find that R.V. was impaired when the accident occurred and that such impairment was a contributing factor that led to the victim’s death. Therefore, the conviction and sentence are affirmed.
