FREMONT, Ohio -- An Ohio court says a man accused of driving more than 125 mph and causing a crash that killed two people on the Ohio Turnpike is now competent to stand trial.
Andrew Gans, of Kent, appeared in a Sandusky County court this week for a competency hearing. The court had until the end of this month to determine if Gans could stand trial after he was found incompetent to stand trial a year ago.
Gans was arrested in November 2013 after authorities say he struck a minivan on the turnpike near Fremont, killing a 77-year-old Toledo couple, Wilbur and Margaret McCoy.
Gans has spent the past year at a psychiatric hospital in Toledo. He's now being evaluated to determine if he was insane at the time of the crash.
