Illegal Migrant Truck Driver Accused Of Killing Three On Highway Failed English, Traffic Sign Tests

The illegal migrant truck driver accused of killing three in a highway accident failed an English proficiency and traffic sign test administered by investigators.

Harjinder Singh, an Indian national living unlawfully in the United States, was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide after allegedly making an illegal U-turn along a Florida highway earlier in August — resulting in the death of three people. Investigators have since determined that Singh has incredibly poor knowledge of both the English language and American road signs.

During an English Language Proficiency assessment administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Indian national only provided two correct answers out of a 12-question verbal test, according to the Department of Transportation (DOT). Additionally, he could only identify one of four highway traffic signs.

DOT Secretary Sean Duffy declared that the individual should have never been allowed to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License. He also took a swipe at sanctuary laws for allegedly allowing Singh to continue operating as a truck driver.

“If states had followed the rules, this driver would never have been behind the wheel and three precious lives would still be with us,” Duffy said in a public statement Tuesday. “This crash was a preventable tragedy directly caused by reckless decisions and compounded by despicable failures.”

“Non-enforcement and radical 🛂Immigration policies have turned the trucking industry into a lawless frontier, resulting in unqualified foreign drivers improperly acquiring licenses to operate 40-ton vehicles,” Duffy continued. “We will use every tool at our disposal to hold these states and bad actors accountable.”
