Tragedy in New Hampshire

Terrible accident. Prayers out for the victims and their families. Not sure of the cause yet.

At least seven people were killed and three others injured when a pickup truck crashed with 10 motorcycles, authorities said. State police said the pickup truck was on fire when emergency crews arrived. Witnesses described the scene as "devastating."

New Hampshire State Police said a 2016 Dodge 2500 pickup truck collided with the riders on U.S. 2 in Randolph on Friday evening. The cause of the deadly collision is not yet known. The pickup truck was on fire when emergency crews arrived.

Along with the seven dead, state police said two additional people were transported to the Androscoggin Valley Hospital and one was airlifted to Maine Medical. Police did not provide any names. Authorities said Saturday afternoon that two of the three had been released from hospitals.

Yes, this is very sad news. It also said the riders were mostly Marine veterans who belonged to the same motorcycle club. Thoughts and prayers to all involved and their loved ones.

The driver of the truck is facing 7 negligent homicides charges.
I was hoping he died in the crash by burning to death.
He has a history of drunk driving and driving under the influence of drugs.

Pissed

Why the trucking company allowed him to drive for them with his record is beyond my comprehension.
