VICCO, Ky. — A Perry County man has been charged with murder in connection with a fatal side-by-side crash last month. 

Noah Back, 26, of Vicco, was arrested on a charge of murder Saturday, according to Sheriff Joe Engle. 

“After conferring with Commonwealth Attorney John Hansen, we have established that probable cause exists that the actions Noah Back took on Feb. 28, exhibited extreme indifference to human life which resulted in the death of 16 year old Miss Emilynn Clark,” Engle said in a statement released on his office’s Facebook page. 

The crash happened Feb. 28 near Oakwood Ave. in Vicco. At the time, Engle said Clark was riding in the side-by-side driven by another minor girl and two men. 

Engle did not say if Back was one of the men or release many other details about the case. However, he did say autopsy results showed Clark was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of her death.
