Seven bikers killed in upstate NH crash

Breitbart.com has confirmed that Zhukovskyy “originally entered the U.S. on September 18, 2006, as a refugee from Ukraine” and “was able to secure a green card and adjust his refugee status in 2008 to become a permanent legal resident.”

Do the math: He is 23. He first came here in 2006. He has been here since age 10. Got his green card at age 12. First DUI would have been as a minor, so underage and drunk.

A mass murderer at age 23.
 
ICE files detainer on criminal immigrant charged in deadly motorcycle crash that killed 5 US Marines

June 26, 2019 | Tom Tillison |

With all the attention on the overwhelmed southern border and the plight of migrant children, a tragic accident in New Hampshire highlights how thoroughly broken the immigration process is in America.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has filed a detainer request against a Ukrainian immigrant accused of killing seven motorcyclists in a fiery crash last week in New Hampshire, according to Fox News .

Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, 23, was charged with seven counts of negligent homicide on Tuesday in Lancaster — Zhukovskyy’s lawyer pleaded not guilty on his client’s behalf.

The immigrant has a long history of traffic violations and other legal troubles and the ICE request means he could face deportation back to his native Ukraine once released.

Maybe.

Zhukovskyy, driving for Springfield, Mass.-based Westfield Transport at the time of the crash, was pulling a flatbed trailer with a pick-up truck.



According to investigators, he was driving erratically and crossed into the center lane and collided with bikers from the New England motorcycle club, Marine JarHeads, Fox News reported.

The group is comprised of Marine veterans and their spouses.

Club president Manny Ribeiro said most of the bikers behind him were wiped out by the flatbed trailer. The pick-up truck exploded into flames after the crash.

Five Marines and two others were killed riding to a charity event at a local American Legion chapter, with three others injured — a GoFundMe page has been set up for the victims and their families.

Zhukovskyy was questioned at the scene and released, but was taken into custody on Monday at his West Springfield, Mass., home on a fugitive from justice charge related to Friday’s accident.

As for his immigration status, Zukovsky’s father told the Boston Herald that his son had just been granted a green card.

His license was suspended Monday as authorities deemed Zhukovskyy an “immediate threat,” making it the second time his license has been suspended for this reason.

More from Mass Live:

Zhukovskyy has several license suspensions listed on his record for drunken driving, accidents and what is known as a National Driver Register violation.

State RMV records show Zhukovskyy had his license suspended after he was arrested in June 2013 on a drunken driving charge in Westfield. The state suspended his license after deeming him an “immediate threat.” […]

Court records in Connecticut also show Zhukovskyy was arrested last month on a drunken driving charge.



Erin Deveney, the head of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, resigned on Tuesday over the department’s failure to revoke Zhukovskyy’s commercial driver’s license after the Connecticut incident, after being notified Connecticut officials.

And Zhukovskyy’s legal troubles were not limited to driving infractions, as the paper reported that he was arrested in Baytown, Texas, on Feb. 11 for possession of a crack pipe.

Authorities said they “located in the defendant’s residence wax packets containing a residue suspected of being heroin” when he was arrested Monday. If the packets test positive, police say Zhukovskyy will face more charges.

There are still other encounters that involved larceny and drug possession.

More from The Globe:

A review of his record showed Zhukovskyy also had other infractions: He was cited for an equipment violation in 2013; he also received a 90-day suspended jail sentence in Connecticut for a 2015 case of larceny, records show. The Journal Inquirer of Manchester, Conn., reported that Zhukovskyy told police in that case that he and another person stole ladders and windows from a Home Depot warehouse.

In January 2017, an employee at a gas station in West Springfield picked up Zhukovskyy’s lost wallet and found cocaine and heroin inside, court records show. Zhukovskyy pleaded guilty to possession of the two drugs and was ordered to pay a $200 fine.



All of which prompts some important questions. If the father’s assertion is true that Zhukovskyy was just granted a green card, how on earth was he ever approved? And with such an extensive record, how was he never deported?

According to U.S. immigration laws, an immigrant can be deported for committing a deportable offense, which includes aggravated felonies and crimes of moral turpitude.

A “crime of moral turpitude” is seen as a catch-all description that can apply to many types of crime if and when appropriate, according to NOLO.

Went over the hill, more than likely.

If I got a DUI, even though it had nothing at all to do with my job as a captain, my employer would fire me, USCG would revoke my documents, and I'd be finished.

Just another business hiring invaders for the cheap labor and covering for them...until they can't anymore.

You could always find work as a photographer.
 
Tens of thousands of paper notices detailing traffic infractions involving Massachusetts drivers in other states sat untouched in 53 bins at a state facility in Quincy, a preliminary review by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation found.

The report, sparked by the crash in New Hampshire and outlined in a Monday memo, sheds light on a breakdown in Massachusetts' handling of out-of-state traffic violations.

The bins were discovered last Wednesday. "For reasons that have not yet been determined," the report said, staff of the Merit Rating Board in Quincy in March 2018 stopped processing out-of-state violations and put them in the bins, which were sorted by month.
For the past five days, RMV officials have been looking up the drivers whose mailed out-of-state notifications hadn't been processed, the report says.
As of Monday, they had processed 655 new license suspensions – all related to alcohol-related violations – spanning 546 individuals. More are likely as the sorting continues.


In addition to the failures with notifications from other states, the Massachusetts RMV also had a more specific lapse with its handling of commercial driver's licenses, the review found.
Connecticut provided an electronic notice to Massachusetts on May 29 about Zhukovskyy's arrest, but it was not processed because of the way the Massachusetts RMV's system for commercial driver's licenses is programmed, according to the report.
Compounding the problem: Connecticut included a future effective date of the suspension rather than the date he refused the chemical test.
The failure for the violation to be electronically reported should have triggered RMV officials to manually report the incident May 11, the report says. But no personnel had been assigned the task of reviewing notifications that weren't processed electronically, including Zhukovskyy's.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker filed legislation Friday to create new tougher standards to obtain and keep commercial driver's licenses in the commonwealth, a move inspired by last month's devastating crash in neighboring New Hampshire that killed seven motorcyclists. Baker, a Republican, unveiled the legislation in a letter to members of the Massachusetts state legislature, saying the devastating crash "called attention" to the state's regulations for commercial driver's license.
Among the proposed regulations: Drivers who have been suspended or disqualified at any point over the past three years wouldn't be eligible to receive a commercial driver's license in Massachusetts.


Other measures proposed in the legislation include:

  • Doubling the minimum suspension period for operators of commercial driver's licenses from 60 to 120 days for drivers who commit two serious traffic violations during a three-year period
  • Doubling the minimum suspension period from 120 days to 240 days for operators of commercial driver's licenses who commit three serious traffic violations during a three-year period
  • A new requirement that drivers provide next-day notification to employers and the Registry of Motor Vehicles when they are convicted of violating any state or local motor vehicle law or if they have their right to operate a motor vehicle revoked or suspended in any state
  • A new requirement that any employer hiring commercial drivers sign up for the state's Driver Verification System, which provides automatic notification to employers when a commercial driver's license status changes
  • Updating several provisions of the state's commercial driver's license law to match federal minimum standards. This includes: making texting-while-driving a serious traffic violation that can result in mandatory license suspensions; mandatory hands-free operation of electronic devices while operating a commercial motor vehicle; and a lifetime suspension for any driver of a commercial motor vehicle who uses a commercial motor vehicle to commit human trafficking crimes.
Baker concluded the letter by urging "prompt enactment" of the legislation, dubbed An Act to Promote Commercial Driver Safety.

And as usual, the barn door is closed after the horse has escaped, and all the rest of us now have to suffer with more burdensome and draconian laws because of some asshole migrant that shouldn't even have been here in the first fucking place.
 
The driver involved in a crash that killed seven motorcyclists in New Hampshire was under the influence of drugs and reached for a beverage just before the collision, according to a federal inspection report obtained Thursday.The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said that a toxicology report showed Volodymyr Zhukovskyy was positive for an unspecified drug that made him incapable of driving safely when his pickup truck crossed the center yellow line and crashed into motorcyclists.
Zhukovskyy also said that he reached for a drink on the passenger side of the truck just before the crash, according to the report. That violation was labeled as "inattentive driving."
The findings were part of an inspection that also found that Zhukovskyy's vehicle had defective lighting and was missing some wheel fasteners.


The Massachusetts company that Zhukovskyy was driving for on the day of June 21 crash also has a troubled history.
According to an Associated Press analysis of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration data, Westfield Transport Inc. faced over 60 violations over the last 24 months.
About one in five inspections of its vehicles ended with federal investigators issuing temporary orders saying the carrier was not authorized to operate. The company's out-of-service rate is 20.8% — a figure nearly four times greater than the national average of 5.5%.
Federal records show the company has faced seven violations for unsafe driving, including speeding. The company also faced two violations in March 2018, reported in Massachusetts and Vermont, of drivers who were in possession of a narcotic drug or amphetamine.

New Hampshire plans to suspend the licenses of nearly 4,000 drivers in the latest fallout following a June crash that killed seven motorcyclists , Gov. Chris Sununu said Wednesday.The Republican governor said the review of the Division of Motor Vehicles sparked by the deadly crash that was just released led authorities to catch up on notifications it had that dated back to July 2016. Sununu said the department is now caught up and more than 37,000 DMV infractions have been looked at.
Authorities blamed the backlog on the lack of automation, which included nearly 14,000 notifications that should have been sent to other states as well as over 13,000 notifications of infractions received by New Hampshire from other states.
A similar process led Massachusetts to uncover a far larger backlog .
"We left no stone unturned. We accounted for every file and every notification," Sununu said of the review. "It's our job as public officials to go through these reviews to ensure that the systems we have in place across the state truly work for the people that we represent."
As a result, Sununu said more than 3,000 drivers from New Hampshire and elsewhere will have their licenses suspended. None of the suspensions resulted in fatalities in New Hampshire and were not directly related to the deadly motorcycle crash in Randolph.
"What we have learned through the process allows us to both challenge and assist other states as they hopefully undergo the same exercise," Sununu said.


Sununu said that he only learned of the backlog after the crash and could not say when the backlog would have been cleared if not for the deadly collision.
Sununu, Department of Safety Commissioner Bob Quinn, and DMV Director Elizabeth Bielecki, speaking at a press conference, said there are measures the state plans to take to ensure notices are handled promptly in the future. Among them are continuing to build out an automated processing system in the works for several years, completing the development of an electronic interface with the judicial branch and working to automate filings from insurance companies. Sununu also has ordered the DMV to produce a monthly status report on notifications.
Further out, Sununu is recommending legislative changes that would allow the DMV to share notifications for all drivers, not just those in states which participate in the REAL ID program. The state is also hoping to encourage municipalities in New Hampshire to automate the sharing of notifications with the state. Currently, most mail paper notifications to the DMV.

:facepalming:

Just like I said would happen.

All the rest of us get more draconian enforcement, more ID, more government...because of some asshole that should have been tossed out of the country years ago.
 
And he skates.

If it was you or me...you know, regular, asshole, schmuck, Americunts, born and raised here and paying god fucked taxes and "following the rules"...we'd be hauled off to jail, never to see the light of day again.



Truck driver acquitted in deaths of 7 motorcyclists in head-on collision

CONCORD, N.H. — A jury on Tuesday acquitted a commercial truck driver of causing the deaths of seven motorcyclists in a horrific head-on collision in northern New Hampshire that exposed fatal flaws in the processing of license revocations across states.

Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, 26, of West Springfield, Massachusetts, was found innocent on seven counts of manslaughter, seven counts of negligent homicide and one count of reckless conduct in connection with the June 21, 2019, crash in Randolph. Jailed since the crash, he appeared to wipe away tears as the verdict was read and briefly raised his index finger skyward before leaving the courtroom.

Jurors deliberated for less than three hours after a two-week trial during which prosecutors argued that Zhukovskyy — who had taken heroin, fentanyl and cocaine earlier on the day of the crash — repeatedly swerved back and forth before the collision and told police he caused it. But a judge dismissed eight charges related to whether he was impaired, and his attorneys blamed the lead biker, Albert “Woody” Mazza Jr., saying he was drunk and not looking where he was going when he lost control of his motorcycle and slid in front of Zhukovskyy’s truck.

“Our hearts go out to the victims and their families. Our trial team did an excellent job and we firmly believe that the State proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt,” New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said in a statement.

Zhukovskyy’s family, some of whom attended the trial, said in a statement they were grateful to God, the court and the defense attorneys for an “honest and fair trial.”

“Our family expresses its deepest condolences to the family and friends affected by this tragedy,” the family said, describing him as a “very honest and kind man. He would never have done anything to hurt anyone.”

Zhukovskyy, who was born in Ukraine, remained jailed as of late Tuesday afternoon. It is unclear when he might be released. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued an immigration detainer on him after the crash and that was executed following the verdict, said Ben Champagne, the superintendent at the Coos County Department of Corrections.

ICE said in a statement that Zhukovskyy has been served a notice to appear before an immigration judge and will remain in ICE custody pending the outcome of that appearance. It did not say where he is being held.

All seven motorcyclists killed were members of the Jarheads Motorcycle Club. After the verdict, a member of the Marine group reached through Facebook declined to comment. Mazza’s father, also named Albert, said he was stunned.

“Killing seven people and he gets off. That is unbelievable,” said Mazza. He described his son as a “good man” who devoted much of his time to charity, and said it was wrong to pin blame on him.

“It doesn’t make much sense,” he said. “There are seven people dead. There are seven families affected. It’s strange that he didn’t get something.”

The motorcyclists who died were from New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island and ranged in age from 42 to 62. They were part of a larger group that had just left a motel along U.S. Route 2 in Randolph.

All of which passed, yet they can't even convict this douchebag for involutary manslaughter.

So now, the migrant invader skates, and everybody else suffers from shortages of truckers.
