Feds to Investigate Fatal Florida Crash Involving Non-English Speaking Trucker
Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant with multiple commercial driver's licenses despite failing English proficiency tests, faces charges after a Florida crash killed three people, authorities said.
- Last week, a semi-truck made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce, Florida, causing a crash that killed three minivan passengers, while authorities investigated Harjinder Singh, 28-year-old Indian national, linked to the incident.
- Immigration records show Singh entered illegally in 2018 after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and was released on a $5,000 immigration bond in January 2019 following his claim of fearing return to India.
- FMCSA announced a federal investigation, noting if states had followed rules, this driver wouldn't have caused deaths.
- The incident has reignited debate, with Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin criticizing sanctuary policies amid a national debate on sanctuary policies and licensing, noting about 18% of 3.5 million truck drivers are immigrants.
