HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The man accused of causing a fatal crash on Franklin Street remains hospitalized weeks after the crash.

Court documents show that Romance Williams refused to appear in court several times because the court was told he remained hospitalized. Williams is accused of causing a crash that killed Denzel McElroy at Fourth and Franklin.

Williams faces multiple charges, including involuntary manslaughter and driving under the influence. The court has postponed its first hearing until June and will consider holding a competency hearing.
