LANCASTER — The trial of Volodymyr Zhukovskyy for the fatal collision that killed seven motorcyclists has been continued for five months.

Just two weeks before the trial was set to get underway on Nov. 29 in Coos Superior Court, Judge Peter Bornstein Wednesday granted a defense motion to move the trial to an undetermined date in March. The new trial date means Zhukovskyy will spend just shy of three years in jail before his case comes to trial.
