I am looking for the title to a movie.  I don't remember who it
starred.  the movie was an old romantic comedy.  It was shot black and
white.  Within the plot two people were involved in an accident and
died but their ghost continue on.  I remember one scene where the two
were sitting on a log off the side of the road right after the
accident.

Are the two people on the right the ghosts from your movie? If so,
I'll be glad to provide details about the movie.

yes. that is the scene I remember.  thanks.

I'm glad to be able to help you identify your movie. The photo linked
above comes from the classic 1937 comedy "Topper," starring Cary Grant
and Constance Bennett as the ghosts, and Roland Young as a banker who
is the only person who can see them. When you mentioned the scene of
the ghosts sitting on a log, I immediately thought of "Topper."

Here you'll find the photo with a brief description of "Topper":

"Topper
This is a delightful comedy of two ghosts, Cary Grant and Constance
Bennett, that dominate the life of a meek banker, played by Roland
Young. Young seems to be the only one able to see the ghosts which
adds to the confusion. This film inspired two sequels and a television
series as well as a remake in 1979 starring Kate Jackson."

From the Internet Movie Database:

"The funloving Kerbys, stockholders in the bank of which henpecked,
stuffy Cosmo Topper is president, drive recklessly once too often and
become ghosts. In limbo because they've never done either good or bad
deeds, they decide to try a good one now: rehabilitating Topper.
Lovely, flirtatious Marion takes a keen personal interest in the job.
Will Topper survive the wrath of jealous ghost George? Will Mrs.
Topper find that a scandalous husband isn't all bad?"
