1. ““The record reveals appellant was driving while under the influence of alcohol, and failed to yield the right-of-way, causing the accident and the victim’s death. A person is said to be ‘reckless,’ pursuant to R.C. 2901.22(C), when one ostensibly disregards a known and significant possibility that his conduct is likely to cause a certain result. Appellant has admitted to driving while under the influence. A licensed driver is charged with knowledge that driving while under the influence is against the law, and creates a substantial risk to himself and others. Appellant disregarded this risk, and continued driving until the accident occurred. We find the element of ‘reckless’ was amply supported by the record and proven by the state. * * *” (Emphasis added.)”
