RANDOLPH — The National Transportation Safety Board has ruled that the fatal collision that killed seven motorcyclists in Randolph in June 2019 was caused by the impairment of truck driver, Volodymyr Zhukovskyy. But the board also found multiple failures of federal and state systems put in place to protect motorists and a disregard for safety by the trucking company contributed to the crash.
“In this case there were failures up and down the line,” said Board Chair Robert Sumwalt.
