Zhukovsky continues to fight for the restoration of his driving license

A man who was acquitted of charges of causing a crash that killed seven motorcyclists in Randolph is still fighting to get his New Hampshire driver's license back.

Volodymyr Zhukovsky is appealing the decision that deprived him of his driving license for the next two years.

In an 11-page document filed Friday, Zhukovskyy's lawyer wrote that the lead motorcyclist in that group “was literally an accident waiting to happen.”

The accident occurred in the summer of 2019 when the truck Zhukovskyy was driving collided with the group of cyclists, killing seven people and injuring three others. The now 28-year-old was found not guilty on all 15 charges he faced.

In Friday's filing, his attorney wrote that evidence presented at an earlier hearing showed the lead motorcyclist caused the accident by hitting Zhukovsky's truck. His lawyer said there was never a finding that Zhukovskyy drove a motor vehicle recklessly, nor was there a specific finding that he did so unlawfully.

A hearing on the issue is scheduled for the end of November.
