Indian-origin driver, Harjinder Singh, who is facing three counts of vehicular homicide for making a reckless U-turn at a Florida highway, killing three, was sent back to Sunshine State after fleeing to sanctuary state California. Later, US President Donald Trump‘s administration announced that it was halting all work visas for commercial drivers. Video of Singh, 28, has gone viral, where he is seen being loaded onto a plane in California on Thursday to fly him back to Flroida. Another video has circulated on social media, capturing Florida lieutenant governor Jay Collins escorting the illegal immigrant truck driver as he arrived back in the city to face charges. The Indian-origin trucker was arrested by the US Marshals in California after he fled the city following the August 12 crash. “We’re here today because of tragedy,” Collins told reporters as he was escorting Singh. “Three lives lost. Three Floridians’ lives ended early.”After Singh was brought back to Florida, US secretary of state Marco Rubio, within a few hours, announced a pause to all issuances of commercial truck driver work visas.“The increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on US roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers,” Rubio wrote on social media.He added that the pause was “effective immediately.”All three people in the minivan died after it crashed into the truck as Singh made a reckless U-turn, leaving no space for the smaller vehicle to escape.
