Overview

• The Miami Herald identified the three people killed as Herby Dufresne, 30, Faniola Joseph, 27, and Rodrigue Dor, 53, who were Haitian immigrants traveling back to Indiana.
• Florida officials say a minivan struck an 18‑wheeler’s trailer after the truck attempted a wide U‑turn through an area marked for official use only on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce.
• Video reviewed by news outlets shows driver Harjinder Singh executing the U‑turn before the minivan became wedged under the trailer.
• Department of Transportation officials say Singh performed poorly on a post‑crash FMCSA English and road‑sign assessment and records show he held commercial licenses issued in Washington in 2023 and California in 2024.
• Gov. Ron DeSantis directed some truck inspection sites to function as immigration checkpoints and said Florida will not recognize licenses issued to undocumented immigrants.
