Three people died in a crash crash in St. Lucie County where Tractor-Trailer driver faces immigrant detainees
st. Lucy County, Fla. — Federal immigration officials issued a truck driver detainee who was accused of causing a crash that killed three people in Florida last week.
According to Florida Highway Safety and Automobile Vehicles, the crash crash occurred on August 12, 2025, when Harjinder Singh, who was driving an 18-wheeler, attempted to make an illegal U-turn via an “official use only” access point on the highway. Officials said the pilot blocked all lanes of traffic, leading to a crash in which three people died at the scene.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office (ICE) have confirmed that Singh, who is illegally in the country, has been charged with three counts of vehicle murder. ICE issued immigrant detainees on August 16th, leaving Singh in custody following the state prosecutors, then transferred to federal custody.
The video obtained by Breaking911 reportedly shows that Singh creates a turn moment before a collision.
Federal officials criticized California’s licensing policy after it was revealed that Singh had obtained a commercial driver’s license there despite his immigration status. “Three innocent people have been killed in Florida as California issued commercial driver’s licenses to illegal foreigners,” DHS Deputy Chief Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
Singh remains in custody while awaiting trial on the state charges.
