Richard Jeffrey EVILLE, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 81-912.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    May 3, 1983.
    
      Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Beth C. Weitzner, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen. and Steven R. Jacob and Michael J. Neimand, Asst. Attys. Gen., for appellee.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and BARK-DULL and FERGUSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

We find no error in the trial court approving a jury verdict finding the appellant-defendant guilty of vehicular homicide as proscribed by Section 782.071 Florida Statutes, (1981) even though the jury acquitted the defendant of manslaughter by driving a vehicle while intoxicated as proscribed by Section 860.01(2) Florida Statutes (1981). Chikitus v. Shands, 373 So.2d 904 (Fla.1979); State v. Young, 371 So.2d 1029 (Fla.1979); McCreary v. State, 371 So.2d 1024 (Fla.1979); Rushton v. State, 395 So.2d 610 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981).
