Florida AG Subpoenas Employer of Illegal Alien Trucker After Deadly Crash [WATCH]

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Thursday that his office will issue both civil and criminal subpoenas to the employer of Harjinder Singh, a truck driver accused of causing a crash that left three people dead on the Florida Turnpike in Fort Pierce.

Authorities said the incident occurred on August 12 when Singh, while operating a commercial tractor-trailer, attempted to make a U-turn in an unauthorized area.

The trailer jackknifed and was struck by a minivan, resulting in the deaths of all three people inside the vehicle. Singh was later charged with three counts of vehicular homicide.

The truck driver who made an illegal U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike that led to the passing of 3 Americans, illegally entered the U.S. through the southern border in 2018.

Investigators stated that Singh had entered the United States illegally in 2018 by crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

He later obtained a commercial driver’s license (CDL) in California, despite not being proficient in English.

Uthmeier emphasized that Singh’s lack of language skills and driving qualifications were critical factors that raised concerns about how he was licensed.

“This guy did not know how to speak English. He could not read road signs. He never should have received that CDL license in the first place,” Uthmeier said during a press conference.

“Not only was he illegally here in the country, but he also did not have the competency, the skillset. There’s no way he went through the proper training in order to get this license.”

Singh was arrested in Stockton, California, and extradited to Florida to face the charges.

Following his arrest, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer in August, ensuring he remains in custody while legal proceedings move forward.

The Attorney General identified Singh’s employer as White Hawk Carriers.

Uthmeier said his office is pursuing subpoenas to hold the company accountable for its role in hiring Singh.

“We’re gonna use every tool, every legal tool at our disposal to fight back and protect our citizens. So today we’ll be issuing these subpoenas against the employer of this individual,” Uthmeier stated.

In addition to targeting the employer, Uthmeier said his office has sent legal demands to both California and Washington for records related to Singh’s licensing.

“We want to get as much information as possible in how this individual obtained these licenses,” he explained.

The case has drawn attention to California’s 2013 law allowing residents to obtain driver’s licenses regardless of immigration status.

That legislation has been cited by critics as a contributing factor to the current situation, as Singh was able to secure a CDL despite being in the country illegally.

Officials reiterated that Singh’s actions on the Florida Turnpike not only violated traffic laws but also resulted in the deaths of three individuals whose names have not yet been released.

The Florida Highway Patrol continues to investigate the details of the crash.

Singh remains in custody in Florida pending trial.

The Attorney General’s office has not yet released further details on the subpoenas issued to White Hawk Carriers, but Uthmeier made clear that the state intends to hold all responsible parties accountable for the events leading to the deadly collision.
