Nearly 2.5 Million Sign Petition Supporting Truck Driver Charged in Fatal Crash
Nearly 2.5 million people have signed a petition urging leniency for Harjinder Singh, who faces up to 45 years for a fatal 2025 crash caused by an illegal U-turn on Florida's Turnpike.
- On August 12, Harjinder Singh, 28, truck driver, made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce, causing a crash that killed three people and leading to his arrest.
- Singh entered the U.S. in 2018 and later obtained a California commercial license despite failing federal English and sign-identification tests, raising licensing oversight concerns.
- A Change.org petition created by Collective Punjabi youth addressed to Governor Ron DeSantis asks the clemency board to reconsider Singh's case, gathering more than 2.6 million signatures within days.
- A Florida judge denied bond, finding Singh an unauthorized alien and flight risk, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio paused work visas for foreign CDL drivers.
- Advocates note a 2021 precedent involving Colorado trucker Rogel Aguilera‑Mederos where over 5 million signatures helped secure a reduced sentence, exposing gaps in American immigration and commercial driving regulators.
