Vehicular homicide

Okay kiddo, let me tell you about vehicular homicide. You know how we have cars that we use to travel from one place to another? Well, sometimes people drive their cars in a way that causes serious accidents which can hurt or even kill someone. If someone dies as a result of that accident, the driver responsible may be charged with vehicular homicide.

It's like this: imagine you were playing with your toys and accidentally knocked over a glass of water. Now imagine that instead of water, it was a car, and instead of your toys, it was people. If someone gets hurt or dies because of that accident, it's a very serious thing.

Now, when someone is charged with vehicular homicide, it means they are being accused of causing a fatal accident while they were driving. This means they may have been driving too fast, drunk, distracted, or not following the rules of the road. It's important to always be safe and careful when driving, so accidents like this don't happen. Does that make sense, kiddo?
