Yes they do, but when you are arrested they will alwyas charge you with the highest charge possible. The DA may lower the charge by arraignment.
I would guess that the manner in which they were driving would eliminate the possibility on manslaughter as they should realize that they were putting others at risk.
If I was a prosecutor, that would be my argument.
