the essential inquiry is whether the defendant knowingly drove the vehicle in such a manner and under such conditions as was likely to cause death or great bodily harm. D.E. v. State, 904 So.2d 558, 562 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005). Although the defendant need not have foreseen the specific circumstances causing the death of the victim, the defendant should have reasonably foreseen that the same general type of harm might occur if he knowingly drove his vehicle under circumstances that would likely cause death or great bodily harm to another. Michel v. State, 752 So.2d 6, 12 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000). A number of appellate courts in Florida have stated that “speed alone” is insufficient to support a conviction for vehicular homicide. See, e.g., House v. State, 831 So.2d 1230, 1233 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002) (<HOLDING>); Hamilton v. State, 439 So.2d 238, 238-39
