美国交通部透露，这名印度移民卡车司机被指控在佛罗里达州高速公路上非法掉头，导致三人死亡。事故发生后，他的英语流利程度和路标测试成绩严重不及格。
4月12日车祸发生后，Harjinder Singh在接受美国联邦汽车运输安全管理局（FASA）的英语水平测试时，仅答对了12道题中的两道。

尽管存在这些缺陷，据信辛格于2018年非法入境美国，但他还是获得了加利福尼亚州和华盛顿州的商业驾驶执照 (CDL)。
交通部长肖恩·达菲在一份声明中表示：“这起车祸是一场可避免的悲剧，它直接由鲁莽的决定造成，并因卑鄙的失误而加剧。”

“执法不力和激进的移民政策已将卡车运输业变成了无法无天的边疆，导致不合格的外国司机以不正当手段获得驾驶40吨重车辆的驾照。”
辛格被指控引发了这起致命事故，因为他试图在标有“仅限官方使用”的高速公路捷径上非法掉头，而他巨大的拖车挡住了这条四车道的高速公路。
一辆小型货车根本来不及刹车或转弯，就全速撞上了这辆拖车。
货车上的三名乘客全部遇难，而从辛格驾驶室内拍摄到的画面显示，他对外面正在发生的惨剧似乎无动于衷。
几十年来，联邦法律一直规定，商业驾驶执照 (CDL) 持有人必须能够“充分”地使用英语与公众交谈并阅读路标——达菲于5月签署了一项命令，以加强这些法律。

在加州，CDL考试只以英语进行，而华盛顿州允许以英语、西班牙语、俄语或塞尔维亚-克罗地亚语进行考试。
辛格究竟是如何在这些条件下获得驾照的目前尚不清楚，但交通部表示他们打算查明真相。
“我们将动用一切手段追究这些州和违规者的责任。特朗普总统和我将恢复我们的道路安全，”达菲说。
警方消息人士此前告诉《华盛顿邮报》，辛格在2018年跨境被拘留后险些被驱逐出境，但2019年1月，他以5000美元保释金获释，当时他告诉美国公民及移民服务局，他害怕返回印度。
此后，他一直在进行移民程序。
您怎么看？发表评论。
在特朗普第一届政府执政期间，他的工作许可申请被拒，但在拜登执政期间，他的工作许可在2021年获得了批准——这些细节引发了加州州长加文·纽姆办公室与国土安全部在社交媒体上的争吵。
美国交通部称，辛格于2023年获得华盛顿州驾驶执照，并于2024年获得加州驾驶执照。
周六，他在加州因三项交通杀人罪被美国法警逮捕。
Illegal migrant truck driver in deadly Florida crash failed English, road sign tests — despite getting licenses from 2 sanctuary states
By Alex Oliveira Aug. 19, 2025
The Indian immigrant truck driver accused of killing three people in a crash when he made an illegal U-turn across a Florida highway badly flunked English fluency and road sign tests following the smash-up, the US Department of Transportation revealed.
Harjinder Singh answered just two of 12 questions correctly when being tested for English language proficiency by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration after the April 12 crash.
And when asked to read highway signs and their meanings, Singh could only identify one out of four signs shown to him, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) announced Tuesday.
Harjinder Singh answered just two of 12 questions correctly when being tested for English language proficiency by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration after the April 12 crash.
Despite these failures, Singh – who is believed to have entered the US illegally in 2018 — had been granted commercial driver’s licenses (CDL) in California and Washington state.
Emergency responders arrive to the scene of the crash.St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office“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.”
Singh is accused of sparking the deadly accident after he attempted an illegal U-turn through a highway cut-through marked “Official Use Only,” with his massive tractor trailer blocking the four-lane highway.
A minivan was left without a chance to brake or turn, and hurtled at full speed into the trailer.
All three people in the van were killed, while footage from inside Singh’s cab showed him apparently unmoved by the carnage unfolding outside.
Federal law has mandated for decades that CDL holders must be able to speak English “sufficiently” enough to converse with the public and read road signs – with Duffy signing an order in May to bolster those laws.

And in California, CDL tests are administered only in English, while Washington allows tests to be taken in English, Spanish, Russian, or Serbian-Croatian.
“We will use every tool at our disposal to hold these states and bad actors accountable. President Trump and I will restore safety to our roads,” Duffy said.
Singh was nearly deported in 2018 after he was detained crossing the border, but was released on $5,000 bond in January 2019 telling US Citizenship and Immigration Services that he feared returning to India, police sources previously told The Post.
He has been in immigration proceedings ever since.
What do you think? Post a comment.
Under the first Trump administration he was denied a work permit, but was granted one in 2021 under the Biden presidency — details which sparked a social media spat between California Gov. Gavin Newom’s office and the Department of Homeland security.
Singh received his Washington CDL in 2023, and his California license in 2024, the DOT said.
He was arrested in California Saturday by US Marshals on three counts of vehicular homicide.
