In this case, the guy plowed through a shoulder while speeding without looking out for what was ahead. Seems like pretty bad judgement to me.
Even if he's not impaired, that doesn't stop him from being charged with vehicular homicide.
Higgins' wife has turned against him and is providing evidence about his history of road rage and drunk driving, and he's now on suicide watch:

Yes, including here. There are two separate charges. Impaired driving and driving while over the limit. The second is usually the easier to prove though.
