Last summer, truck driver Volodymyr Zhukovskyy allegedly caused a crash that killed seven people on a winding road in rural N.H. He should've never been behind the wheel. The tragedy illuminated two major problems: States often fail to communicate with each other about dangerous drivers, and the government has allowed whole swaths of the trucking industry to operate with minimal or no oversight.
For the past 11 months, the Globe reviewed crash investigations around the country, police reports, driving records, congressional testimony, and federal and state crash data. What's emerged is a maddening picture of repeated regulatory lapses punctuated by gruesome crashes and unanswered calls for change.
