Sixty-three-year-old John Porth, of South Carolina, is charged with vehicular manslaughter in the November 21 deaths of 53-year-old Monique Williams and her 13-year-old nephew Terrance Williams.
Prosecutors allege Porth was driving in the wrong lane at Treasaure Cay, Abaco when he crashed head-on into Williams’ car.

Porth returns to court on March 16 to receive voluntary bill of indictment papers that will fast-track his case to the Supreme Court.
