Overview

• Harjinder Singh faces three counts of vehicular homicide after an alleged U-turn through an 'official use only' access on the Florida Turnpike led to a minivan colliding with his trailer, killing three people.
• U.S. Marshals arrested Singh in California on a Florida warrant, and he remains in custody with an ICE detainer filed to secure transfer to federal custody after state proceedings.
• Homeland Security says Singh entered the U.S. unlawfully in 2018, was denied work authorization in 2020, and later received approval in 2021 before obtaining a commercial driver’s license in California.
• DHS officials criticized California’s licensing policies, while Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office disputed federal claims over the timing of Singh’s work authorization.
• Florida Highway Patrol says the truck blocked northbound lanes near Fort Pierce; two minivan passengers died at the scene and the driver died at a hospital, while Singh and his passenger were not injured.
