400 bikers gather to bid goodbye to seven motorcyclists killed in crash with Dodge pickup truck | Daily Mail Online
Four hundred bikers gather to bid goodbye to seven motorcyclists, including Marine veterans, killed in crash with Dodge pickup truck driver who 'plowed into their procession
The pickup driver, Volodoymyr Zhukovskyy, 23, an employee of a Springfield, Massachusetts, trucking company, was not seriously injured and did not require hospitalization.
Authorities identified the dead as Michael Ferazzi, 62, of Contoocook, New Hampshire; Albert Mazza, 49, of Lee, New Hampshire; Desma Oakes, 42, of Concord, New Hampshire; Aaron Perry, 45, of Farmington, New Hampshire; Daniel Pereira, 58, of Riverside, Rhode Island; and Joanne and Edward Corr, both 58, of Lakeville, Massachusetts.
Going to guess here that the pickup truck driver was either sending or receiving a text/call immediately prior to the fatal collision.
At the very least there should be manslaughter charges. Can't believe LE let him leave from the accident site.
I get it --- that he was cooperative.
Just rankles me.
Seven precious lives snuffed out !
May they rest in gentle peace.
My utmost condolences to the victims' families, the pain must be unimaginable.

I'm not surprised that they let him go. Unless the driver is intoxicated, which he wasn't, there really isn't probable cause for an arrest at that time. The police have to do an investigation to determine what happened and then later press charges. I am certain that there will eventually be some charges, but it may take a little while.
Joseph Mazza, Mazza Jr.'s uncle who lives in Haverhill, Massachusetts, said he was still dealing with the accident and trying to comprehend how so many bikers died in one accident.
"The truck was coming in the opposite direction. It's hard to figure how he could hit 10 motorcycles without getting out of the way," Joseph Mazza said. "Right now, the details are very vague. I'm very confused ... I need more information."
