Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins on Thursday night landed in Tallahassee with illegal migrant and truck driver Harjinder Singh, who was allegedly responsible for a fatal crash that killed three people in Florida earlier this month.

Singh allegedly attempted to make a U-turn in an unauthorized area with a commercial semi-truck with a trailer on the Florida Turnpike on Aug. 12, but the trailer jackknifed and a minivan ran into it, killing all three of the minivan’s passengers.

The suspect was arrested in California last week and booked into the San Joaquin County Jail to await an initial court appearance.Ā 

Singh, an Indian national, entered the U.S. illegally in 2018 and obtained a commercial truck license from California in 2021. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday announced that the U.S. is halting all issuance of work visas for commercial truck drivers after the incident.
