CONCORD, N.H. (WCAX) – A New Hampshire judge Thursday agreed with state officials that Volodymyr Zhukovskyy’s unlawful operation contributed to a deadly 2019 crash in Randolph, making it unlikely his bid to get his driver’s license reinstated is unlikely.
A jury two years ago acquitted Zhukovskyy of causing the deaths of seven motorcyclists in the Route 2 crash. Zhukovskyy had his Massachusetts license automatically suspended in New Hampshire after his arrest following the crash.
In a written order issued Thursday, the judge upheld the state’s complaint and found Zhukovskyy’s unlawful operation materially contributed to the crash, meaning his license could remain suspended for up to seven years.
The New Hampshire Department of Safety says there will be another hearing to assess Zhukovskyy’s license suspension period at a later date.
