Illegal immigrant trucker charged in deadly wreck flown back to Florida after he fled to sanctuary state
The illegal immigrant truck driver accused killing three people in a massive wreck on a Florida highway has been sent back to the Sunshine State after fleeing to sanctuary state California.
Harjinder Singh, 28, was loaded onto a plane in California Thursday and flown back to Florida, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety.
The Indian national arrested by US Marshals in California, one of two states where he has a commercial driver’s license.
He was busted after allegedly fleeing back to the state following the April 12 crash, Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins told reporters while personally escorting Singh to Florida, according to WFLA.
Singh faces three counts of vehicular homicide for allegedly making an illegal U-turn across a busy Florida highway in his tractor trailer.
Footage from the terrifying incident showed Singh driving the massive truck through an “Official Use Only” cut-through on a highway and blocking nearly all lanes of traffic — leaving a black minivan driving behind him nowhere to go, and crashing at speed into the trailer.
All three people in the van were killed.
Singh is believed to have entered the US illegally in 2018. When questioned by investigators after the accident, he failed to demonstrate English proficiency or the ability to read US highway signs.
