It’s been a long three years since the horrific New Hampshire crash that killed seven members of the Jarheads Motorcycle Club on June 21, 2019. In the incident, truck driver Volodymyr Zhukovskyy was at the wheel of a 2016 Dodge pickup truck with a trailer attached. His vehicle crashed into the group of riders who were going in the opposite direction on Route 2 in Randolph, New Hampshire, killing seven of them and injuring at least three others.
Just three days later, on June 24, 2019, Zhukovskyy was officially charged with seven counts of negligent homicide. He later pleaded not guilty. Various delays—both related to the global pandemic, and also to the defense requesting additional time to find an appropriate crash reconstruction expert—previously kept the trial from starting. Finally, on January 12, 2022, the defense secured an appropriate expert, and the trial was at last scheduled to begin in July, 2022.
