Did a State DMV Backlog Result In The Deaths of 7 Motorcycle Riders? It Didn't Help

Sometimes real life is so much stranger than a writers room could design. If you recall the story of a truck driver in Massachusetts who was acquitted of the deaths of seven riders whom he hit with his truck in 2019, then you probably wouldn't find it shocking to see a new story about him and a DUI charge. You might want to hope that he's getting the help he needs, but 'surprising' isn't the word I'd use.

Only, here's where the story gets weird. It's not that simple, you see. Why? Because this isn't a new DUI.

As you might recall if you kept up with that story as it unfolded, one of the major issues involved was that the driver, Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, had multiple previous charges for driving under the influence across multiple states. Since he's a truck driver, he of course frequently crosses state lines, so it makes sense that he might perform the same behaviors in multiple jurisdictions.
