A man who was injured in a Sept. 29 accident that also killed his wife remained in critical condition Tuesday at a Hickory hospital.

Investigators with the Hickory Police Department are working on reconstructing the wreck, which left 55-year-old Rena Moore dead and Jerry Moore, 58, in critical condition at Frye Regional Medical Center, said Capt. Clyde Deal.

Enrique Cardenas Zavala, 20, was charged with driving while impaired, driving after consuming alcohol while under 21, failing to stop at a red light and involuntary manslaughter.

Cardenas Zavala is being held at the Catawba County Jail without bond until his next court appearance on Oct. 19, Deal said. He could face additional charges pending the Police Department's investigation, Deal said.
