An owner of a now defunct trucking company has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges related to a tragic crash in New Hampshire that claimed the lives of seven motorcyclists. The individual, identified as Dunyadar Gasanov, 39, entered a guilty plea in Springfield, Massachusetts, to three counts of making false statements to federal investigators.
The trucking company in question, Westfield Transport, Inc., employed Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, a commercial truck driver involved in the fatal 2019 crash in northern New Hampshire. Gasanov was accused of falsifying driver logs to circumvent federal road safety regulations, including exceeding limits on driving hours.
