LANCASTER — A Coos County grand jury has issued new indictments against the driver in the so-called Fallen 7 case that no longer claim the truck driven by Volodymyr Zhukovskyy crossed the center line into the opposite lane of traffic. The new indictments instead allege that Zhukovskyy negligently caused the death of seven motorcyclists in Randolph by causing the collision or by operating a motor vehicle in a dangerous manner.
““The language in the new indictments comport with the evidence that has developed,” said Kate Giaquinto, communications director for the N.H. Attorney General’s office.
