EAGEN, Chief Justice,
dissenting.
I am persuaded Section 3732 of the Vehicle Code, 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 3732, is unconstitutional in that one result is to permit imprisonment even in the absence of culpable conduct. Cf. Commonwealth v. Koczwara, 397 Pa. 575, 155 A.2d 825 (1959); Commonwealth v. Barone, - Pa.Super. -, 419 A.2d 457 (1980) (concurring opinion of Spaeth, J., joined by Hoffman, J.).
