RANDOLPH, N.H. (CBS) – New Hampshire Deputy Attorney General Jane Young identified the seven motorcyclists who died Friday night after they were struck by a pickup truck towing a flatbed trailer.
The crash happened Friday around 6:30 p.m. when the truck and trailer collided with the group of 10 motorcycles on Route 2.

"Massachusetts State Police said troopers also “located in the defendant’s residence wax packets containing a residue suspected of being heroin.”
He has not been charged with a drug offense at this time, but authorities will test the residue at the State Crime Lab, state police said.
If the residue tests positive for drugs, Zhukovskyy will face charges, state police said.
When this happened most here at FR we’re waiting to make a hard opinion but a lot of us who have or do ride had thoughts on the cause. A close friend of mine who still rides and I who gave it up were pretty sure you don’t get seven in a headon without something else happening. A truck with a trailer sidewise, is the other something. Prayers for the families. They hand out the licenses but don’t teach the driving. Also, how the he!! Do you get and keep a CDL with DUI’s and crap on your record. This event is a real heartbreaker.
This is so sad...
God forgive me, but he looks like he was spawned at Chernobyl.
Bad drivers are out there, operating all sorts of vehicles. There are also wildlife amd loose pets that will put a bike and rider(s) down.
Riding in packs may be fun, give the feeling of power in unity, or a similarity to a thundering herd of wild horses, but proper spacing in regard to speed and road conditions is critical.
Looking at those photos is very sad. The bikes are too close together. Just tragic!
I travel, and see many OTR drivers of obvious foreign makeup, many with head wraps. Just an observation. Lots of pudgy older white guys, too.
