  breath,  urine  or  saliva  made  pursuant  to the provisions of section
  eleven hundred ninety-four of the vehicle and traffic law;
    (2) commits such crime while knowing or having reason  to  know  that:
  (a)  his  or  her  license  or his or her privilege of operating a motor
  vehicle in another state or his or her privilege of obtaining a  license
  to  operate a motor vehicle in another state is suspended or revoked and
  such suspension or revocation is based upon a conviction in  such  other
  state for an offense which would, if committed in this state, constitute
  a  violation  of  any  of  the  provisions  of  section  eleven  hundred
  ninety-two of the vehicle and traffic law; or (b) his or her license  or
  his or her privilege of operating a motor vehicle in the state or his or
  her privilege of obtaining a license issued by the commissioner of motor
  vehicles  is  suspended  or revoked and such suspension or revocation is
  based upon either a refusal to submit to a  chemical  test  pursuant  to
  section  eleven  hundred  ninety-four  of the vehicle and traffic law or
  following a conviction for a violation  of  any  of  the  provisions  of
  section eleven hundred ninety-two of the vehicle and traffic law;
    (3)  has  previously been convicted of violating any of the provisions
  of section eleven hundred ninety-two of  the  vehicle  and  traffic  law
  within  the preceding ten years, provided that, for the purposes of this
  subdivision, a conviction in any other  state  or  jurisdiction  for  an
  offense  which, if committed in this state, would constitute a violation
  of section eleven hundred ninety-two of the  vehicle  and  traffic  law,
  shall be treated as a violation of such law;
    (4) causes serious physical injury to more than one other person;
    (5)  has  previously been convicted of violating any provision of this
  article or article one hundred twenty-five of this title  involving  the
  operation  of  a  motor  vehicle, or was convicted in any other state or
  jurisdiction of an offense involving the operation of  a  motor  vehicle
  which,  if committed in this state, would constitute a violation of this
  article or article one hundred twenty-five of this title; or
    (6) commits such crime while operating a motor vehicle while  a  child
  who is fifteen years of age or less is a passenger in such motor vehicle
  and causes serious physical injury to such child.
    If  it  is  established  that  the person operating such motor vehicle
  caused  such  serious  physical  injury  or  injuries  while  unlawfully
  intoxicated  or  impaired  by  the  use  of alcohol or a drug, or by the
  combined influence of drugs or of alcohol and any drug  or  drugs,  then
  there  shall  be  a  rebuttable  presumption  that,  as a result of such
  intoxication or impairment by the use of alcohol or a drug,  or  by  the
  combined  influence  of  drugs or of alcohol and any drug or drugs, such
  person operated the motor vehicle in a manner that caused  such  serious
  physical  injury  or  injuries,  as required by this section and section
  120.03 of this article.
    Vehicular assault in the first degree is a class D felony.
