LANCASTER — Coos County prosecutors are asking the court to allow testimony of prior instances of illegal drug use and driving as evidence in the case of Volodomyr Zhukovskyy, the truck driver charged in the deaths of seven motorcyclists on Route 2 in Randolph last June.

The newly filed documents say that 18 days before the Randolph collision, Zhukovskyy crashed a tractor-trailer truck hauling a car carrier in Baytown, Texas, and later admitted he was using illegal drugs at the time.
