Clevenger, appellant, was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide in violation of K.S.A. 21-3405, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) in violation of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 8-1567, driving without a valid operator's license in violation of K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 8-262, reckless driving in violation of K.S.A. 8-1566, and following too closely in violation of K.S.A. 8-1523.

As a result of the accident, all three occupants of the car hit by appellant, two women and one boy, were killed. One of the women who died was pregnant and her fetus was also killed. At the time of the accident, Clevenger was legally blind, had no driver's license, and was under a diversion agreement from a previous DUI arrest. That day he had been drinking at local taverns in Parsons, in violation of his diversion agreement.
