To those fellow bikers who were killed.

Truck driver was on drugs, reaching for drink at time of deadly New Hampshire crash, report says


BOSTON – The truck driver who killed seven motorcyclists when he crossed a double-yellow line on a highway in rural New Hampshire was high on drugs and claims he was reaching for a drink just before the collision, according to a federal inspection report.

The report from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, obtained by USA Today via a public records request, offers the most detailed analysis yet of the deadly June 21 crash.The Boston Globe was the first to report the findings.

Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, a 23-year-old truck driver employed by Westfield Transport Inc., has been charged with seven counts of negligent homicide.

The report says Zhukovskyy, of West Springfield, Massachusetts, tested positive for a narcotic or amphetamine, making him "incapable of safe operation" when he crashed the 2016 Dodge 2500 pickup truck and trailer. The report did not specify the drug.

How did this idiot still get behind the wheel??  I hope they throw the book at him, pick it up, and throw it at him again.

Tragic.
