A 23-year-old western Massachusetts man has been charged with seven counts of negligent homicide in connection with a gruesome crash in New Hampshire Friday night.
Volodymyr Zhukovskyy was driving a pickup truck with a trailer attached on Route 2 in Randolph, New Hampshire Friday evening when he allegedly collided with motorcyclists from a Marine veterans group killing seven people.
"This is one of the worst tragic incidents that we have investigated here in the state," said New Hampshire State Police Col. Chris Wagner.
Massachusetts State Police said when they arrested Zhukovskyy at his home Monday they found wax packets with suspected heroin residue.
Zhukovskyy’s Massachusetts driving record shows a June 2013 arrest for OUI in Westfield for which he was sentenced to a year of probation.
He was arrested in May in Connecticut for alleged impaired driving.
