*341Fitzgerald, P.J.
(concurring). I agree with Judge Marilyn Kelly’s ultimate resolution of this case. I write separately, however, because I do not agree with the conclusion that in order for a defendant to be convicted of vehicular homicide, his conduct must be "a” proximate cause of the death. People v Dolen, 89 Mich App 277; 279 NW2d 539 (1977). I believe that the defendant’s conduct must be "the” proximate cause of the death. People v Layman, 299 Mich 141, 145; 299 NW 840 (1941). Thus, I would follow People v Scott, 29 Mich App 549; 185 NW2d 576 (1971).
