Of course the accused should have the protection of the law, but according to the CDL restrictions all of us are held to, this driver was not allowed to be driving due to previous offenses. Yet he was still using illegal substances, and still driving commercially ! And likely will be driving tomorrow, and maybe drove commercially yesterday 
It now sounds as if the motorcyclist crossed Centerline, and was also impaired. (New information?, accident reconstruction?) |
You have me beat for a motorcycle license by 10 years so I'm interested in the case due to him hitting a bunch of bikers. Someone I used to know is paralyzed due to someone intentionally swerving to take them out because they were on both sides of him. The guy I knew landed in a ditch, almost drowning due to his full face helmet filling with water. I know others who have been involved in accidents, one guy almost lost his leg.
While some of the articles make it sound like they were in a "biker gang," they were ex-Marines who rode together.
My hub has a CDL too, I know the laws are pretty strict, especially about the last 5 to 10 years anyway, especially with log books and e-logs now.
It's infuriating that he continued to hold his CDL with as many accidents and drug offenses as he recently had from what I had researched back when this thread was started. If I'm remembering right, it seemed like he crossed state lines in order to evade it stopping him. He had just had an "incident," I'm calling it an incident because I don't recall specifics, I think it was an accident where he was intoxicated or on drugs. He then fled IMO to Mass to continue driving a truck, still hoping to avoid detection, which apparently he did which blows my mind, especially these days with everything being entered directly into databases such as tickets.
I did find a new article with a timeline of his driving history, he was charged before even having a license in 2012 which he got off of some how. Specifics are not mentioned in the time line. That one didn't really matter because it seems that as soon as he got his drivers license he was running up tickets for DUI or drugged driving. I believe driving while suspended too. In fact, there are only 2 years when he did not have a drunk, drug, or accident charge, I wonder if he was suspended during 2015 and 2016. I find it hard to believe he stopped driving, especially due to his history of giving false information. Of course he was soon charged again in 2017...
Yes, apparently in 2020 it came out that the accident reconstruction found the motorcycle had crossed the line into his lane, thus "causing" the accident, plus the biker was also drunk or impaired, so a "loop hole".
Since the accused had not gotten citizenship here, ICE is looking to deport him, which they probably will like Joe Guidice from "Real housewives of NJ." I've been trying to google his immigration history but am not finding it. I can't recall right now if it's something I looked into but knowing me, I will be surprised if I did not because I'm thinking he came here as a child who did not get his citizenship when he turned an adult which is stupid. He did however get
permanent resident status so according to what I'm reading, he will probably
not get deported because they technically can't for some reason or another.
He is now in ICE custody, so he's been
released from jail. Now it is just a matter of time before he has his day in immigration court, but like everything, it's probably backed up due to COVID.
An article linked below says that they have to prove he is a flight risk or threat to the community in order to hold him in ICE custody. If they do not, they will have to release him.
A person is saying that he is a permanent resident so ICE should not even be involved. He is also saying that since he is a citizen of Ukraine he gets temporary protected status, can not be deported.
Also according to the article below, his
drivers license is suspended and his commercial license being disqualified, but I'm not sure what that even means.
He has a DUI from May 11, 2019 in Connecticut which he has court for on September 1st.

Be careful it is very dangerous out there.

I was following that case too because my hub is a trucker. IIRC, his employer neglected the truck, so he would have been eventually doomed to have something fail on him due to bad (or lack of) maintenance. I was surprised no one made a thread for it here in current events.
You're not kidding there was a huge social media pressure along with a petition which I had signed before finding a very in-depth article which made me feel like he
was at fault.
