CONCORD — Volodymyr Zhukovskyy’s right to drive in New Hampshire could be reinstated as soon as 2026 under a ruling made public Wednesday.
Zhukovskyy was acquitted at trial of killing seven motorcyclists in a grisly 2019 collision on Route 2 in Randolph, though the state bureaucracy still holds him responsible for the deaths.
