The Third Department determined several counts should have been dismissed as inclusory concurrent counts in this vehicular homicide prosecution:

… [D]efendant’s convictions for vehicular manslaughter in the first degree, reckless driving and driving while intoxicated under counts 7, 12, 13 and 14 of the indictment must be dismissed as inclusory concurrent counts of his convictions for aggravated vehicular homicide (see CPL 300.30 [4]; 300.40 [3] [b]; Penal Law §§ 125.13 [3]; 125.14 [3], [5]; Vehicle and Traffic Law §§ 1212, 1192 [2], [3] … ). Similarly, defendant’s conviction for vehicular assault in the first degree under count 9 of the indictment must be dismissed as an inclusory concurrent count of aggravated vehicular assault (see CPL 300.30 [4]; 300.40 [3] [b]; Penal Law §§ 120.04 [3]; 120.04-a [3] …). People v Ferguson, 2021 NY Slip Op 02563, Third Dept 4-29-21
