Examples:

1) Sending a text message from your phone while driving, resulting in hitting a bicyclist and kill him; 2) A teenager is speeding on the highway when he crashes into another car, killing that driver. 3) A man deliberately drives into a stop sign at high speed in the hopes of getting an insurance payout for his car, and in doing so he hits and kills a pedestrian.
