RANDOLPH — After striking out three times in Coos County Superior Court, Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, driver in the so-called "Fallen 7" collision, is asking the N.H. Supreme Court to order a bail hearing on whether he must remain in preventive detention while awaiting trial.
Zhukovskyy, 25, of West Springfield, Mass., is charged with multiple counts of negligent homicide, negligent homicide-DUI and reckless conduct in the June 2019 crash that killed seven motorcyclists on Route 2 in Randolph.
