FARMINGTON - The seven motorcyclists killed in a horrific Northern New Hampshire crash on Friday include a 45-year-old Farmington man.

Aaron Perry was among those who died when his group collided with a pickup truck which was hauling a trailer on Route 2 in Randolph around 6:30 p.m.

The group of bikers, part of a Marine Jarheads MC, were en route to a local American Legion post for a charity event and meat bingo when the accident occurred.

The other victims were identified as Michael Ferazzi, 62, of Contoocook, Albert Mazza, 59, of Lee, Daniel Pereira, 58, of Riverside, R.I., Joanne and Edward Corr, both 58, of Lakeville, Mass and Desma Oakes, 42, of Concord.

New Hampshire Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jennie Duval has determined that all seven individuals died as a result of blunt trauma.

Three motorcyclists survived the crash, including two taken to local hospitals and a third, with significant injuries, who continues to recover at Maine Med in Portland.

Randolph is a small town in Coos County, where Route 2 is a major east-west artery.

Meanwhile, Investigators on Saturday identified the pickup driver as Volodoymyr Zhukovskyy, 23, an employee of Westfield Transport, a company in Springfield, Mass. Zhukovskyy, who survived the crash without injury, has not been charged.

New Hampshire State Police Col. Chris Wagner said he expected a significant investigation involving a "complex" accident scene to be conducted over the next five days by a host of safety officials including a team from the NTSB.

Gov. Chris Sununu ordered flags across the state to fly at half-staff today in remembrance of the victims.
