If an individual, while driving under the influence causes an accident, and someone suffers "substantial bodily injury" the State may charge that driver with Vehicular Assault.  Vehicular Assault can also be committed if a driver is:  (1) driving a car in a reckless manner, or (2) a person drives their car with a disregard for the safety of others.
