A Vincennes man is facing charges in connection to a head-on crash that killed Freelandville couple.

27-year-old Joshua A. Roark was traveling southbound on State Road 159 approaching Brocksmith Road on June 12th, when he went left of center and crashed head-on into the vehicle of John and Rita Buck.

John and Rita Buck, both 71-years-old, were pronounced dead at the scene.
