His attorney makes what seems like a strong argument: "Mr Zhukovskyy was, in fact, in his lane, and that the lead motorcycle came across the center lane at him, and his reaction was to jam on his brakes, a natural reaction in a situation such as that," |
I haven't made a visit to the crash/crime scene, but recent pictures show the roadway curving around a hillside.
I think what happened was Zhukovskyy entered the curve driving too fast. (While towing a long and heavy--but empty--trailer behind him).
The curve is on a descending hillside, so the speeding trailer slid out sideways into the opposite lane.
Zhukovskyy slowed, which skidded the trailer into an even worse angle for the victims!
In attempting to recover the swinging trailer, Zhukovskyy steered right so his (combined) inertia caused his truck to climb the steep hillside to a hard stop.
Zhukovskyy admitted going back to his truck to recover an unnamed "something". The truck caught fire and Zhukovskyy promptly admitted to witnesses that the crash was his fault.
Conclusion:
The collision with the lead motorcycle was a "dynamic" one: Which means, the truck's left front tire could very well have been "on the line", but the truck (with trailer still attached)
steered itself steeply uphill and totally off the road.
IMHO...
The Boston Herald has today's demand, made by Zhukovskyy s lawyer, that Zhukovskyy's driving privileges be restored
in New Hampshire.
