Conviction of defendant for vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is affirmed but modified where the judgment with the sentence of 26 years four months is affirmed as the correct sentence is reflected in the court’s minutes and the abstract of judgment, not in the court’s oral pronouncement of sentence as stated in the reporter’s transcript.
