PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Cheri Rose Granger, timely appeals her convictions by jury verdict for DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, driving while license suspended and DUI with property damage. We reverse her conviction for vehicular homicide, and otherwise affirm.

Appellant argues that convictions for both DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide based upon a single death cannot stand because they violate her constitutional right to be free from double jeopardy, citing Houser v. State , 474 So.2d 1193 (Fla. 1985), and State v. Chapman , 625 So.2d 838 (Fla. 1993). The State concedes error, and based upon our supreme courts precedent, we agree. Accordingly, we order the trial court to vacate Appellants conviction for vehicular homicide. See Aguirre v. State , 159 So.3d 1033, 1033 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) ; Ivey v. State , 47 So.3d 908, 911 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010). We affirm Appellants conviction and sentence for DUI manslaughter, as well as her other convictions and sentences for driving while license suspended and DUI with property damage.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED.
