A Christian County grand jury has indicted a Hopkinsville man on a charge of vehicular homicide in connection with a September crash that killed a woman near Western State Hospital.

The indictment charges 47-year-old Richard Fisk with vehicular homicide while under the influence of drugs or another substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and DUI with an aggravating circumstance.

The charges stem from the September 15th death of 50-year-old Elizabeth Jessup. The indictment alleges Fisk caused her death while driving under the influence.

Police initially charged Fisk with DUI and possession of drug paraphernalia following the crash. The grand jury’s indictment adds the vehicular homicide charge.

Bond for Fisk was set at $200,000.
