PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) – A Massachusetts man severely injured in a 2019 crash in New Hampshire that killed seven members of his motorcycle club has filed a lawsuit against the Massachusetts Registrar of Motor Vehicles for allegedly failing to suspend the driver’s license of the man charged in connection with the crash.
The Berkshire Eagle reports that Joshua Morin, of Dalton, alleges in his lawsuit filed last week that the agency acted willfully, wantonly or recklessly when it failed to process thousands of license suspensions and revocations reported from out-of-state.
That failure allowed Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, whose license had been suspended in Connecticut, to continue driving.
Zhukovskyy has pleaded not guilty.
