TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - True vehicular homicide JO - American journal of forensic medicine and pathology A1 - Copeland, A. R. SP - 305 EP - 307 VL - 7 IS - 4 N2 - True vehicular homicides are defined as those occurrences in which a motor vehicle is used as a weapon in the taking of a life. While local customs may vary in classifying vehicular-related deaths, this author is not considering the "hit-and-run" type case or the negligent manslaughter type, which are best left in the accidental manners of death. Rather, a study of homicide by motor vehicle is presented using nine cases of vehicular homicide that occurred over a 5-year period in Metropolitan Dade County. The essence of such cases and how the forensic scientist should approach them are discussed.
