Petition for illegal alien who caused fatal crash receives over 2 million signatures

| August 25, 2025

Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien truck driver who made an illegal U-turn that killed three people, was charged with vehicular homicide and three counts of manslaughter. A petition was launched urging that his case be re-evaluated. Singh was denied bond due to being an illegal alien and to being a high risk. Many people from India, living in the U.S. and elsewhere, are praising Singh and denigrating the crash victims.

From Fox News:

A petition urging Florida officials to show leniency toward Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant truck driver accused of causing a crash that killed three people, has garnered nearly 2.5 million signatures as of Sunday afternoon.

The petition — posted on the website Change.org and addressed to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis — calls for both DeSantis and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency to re-examine the case against the 28-year-old. Singh faces three counts of vehicular homicide and three counts of manslaughter in connection with the deadly Aug. 12 crash.

Harjinder Singh, 28, an illegal immigrant, was operating a commercial semi-truck with a trailer on the Florida Turnpike in Fort Pierce when he allegedly attempted a U-turn in an unauthorized area. The trailer jackknifed and collided with a minivan, killing all three of its passengers, according to officials.

Singh was arrested in Stockton, California, on Aug. 16 and later extradited to Florida. Investigators determined that he and his passenger, Harneet Singh, fled to Sacramento the day after the crash, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

On Saturday, a Florida judge denied bond to Singh, ruling that he is an unauthorized alien and a substantial flight risk. St. Lucie County Judge Lauren Sweet also found probable cause for all six charges against Singh and classified them as forcible felonies under Florida law.

“This was a tragic accident — not a deliberate act,” the petition states. “While accountability matters, the severity of the charges against him does not align with the circumstances of the incident.”

If convicted, the petition requests that Singh receive a “proportionate and reasonable” sentence, that parole eligibility be granted after part of his sentence is served and that alternatives to incarceration — like counseling or community service — be considered.

I signed the petition to have the signers of Singh’s petition deported.

The reasons for my signing that petition is that those foreigners have values, ethics, and morals that are incompatible with the US. Deport ’em.

e.

Absolutely! Innocent people’s lives were lost because this man decided to turn the truck he was driving around on the highway??What fool does that? Does he have legitimate drivers licenses? Can he even read English? Road signs? He wasn’t alone. The other person with him (father, brother, son, wife) should also be held culpable. Riding ‘Shotgun’ assumes responsibility! Otherwise, ride a bus! What a tragic loss of life. Put this man away otherwise he may continue his reckless behavior.

rgr769

Moreover, it is a divided highway with a center median, and he made his U-turn from the outside lane. In the process, his trailer blocked both lanes of traffic. The van was being driven at freeway speed when this POS initiated the turn directly in front of his victims. The van impacted the front third of his trailer. The video in the cab shows he reacted like he could give a shit less that he just killed three people. These turd-world low IQ illegals have no business driving big rigs anywhere on our roads.

timactual

I suspect he also made that left turn from the right lane, and I doubt he used his turn signal. Definitely reckless and wanton misconduct.

rgr769

That is why I said “from the outside lane.” The divided highway has two lanes in each direction. In the video, one can see the rear of the trailer is still partially blocking the outside, right lane, at the impact of the death vehicle.

“That is why I said “from the outside lane.””

True, but I said it better.
“Why is it better?” you ask?
Because! (he explained patiently).

Quartermaster

That’s an argument winner every time!

Ann G.

He’s from India, so I thought– maybe the rules of the road are different over there? Then I looked it up. According to the Google AI bot (sometimes useful) in India, a driver making a U turn must wait until the road is clear of all passing traffic. And a U turn like the one he took would actually be illegal over there.

“When in Rome….”

Slow Joe

180k people die in India every year in road accidents. Non-fatal accidents are greatly under-reported.

5JC

From one perspective:

India: 1.5 B people / 180k = .012% fatality rate

US 330M people/ 40K = .012% fatality rate

The rates are practically the same.

Then you find that only 8% of households in India own a car.

For sake of argument we will say that 15% of the population drives a four wheeled vehicle (probably lower).

The rate jumps to .08% or 6.6 times higher than the US.

e.

Population vastly under estimated.

Of the time I spent in the Navy, the only time I feared for my life was a taxi ride in Naples, Italy. As bad as the driving is here in states, its magnified ten fold elsewhere. The aggressiveness, the the GTFOMW mentality, and the lack of safety concerns boggles the mind. The worst countries in my opinion based what I’ve seen on YouTube is Russia, and India. Its a goddamn Thunderdome out there and I worked in NYC for 7 years.

5JC

Similar experience in Rome in 2015. Never thought of a stop sign as a voluntary thing before. Brakes were just for a casual nuance. Turn signals might give away your position and intent.

The Autobahn in Germany 1968.
Stay the hell out of the left lane…

Quartermaster

My father was stationed there ’66-’69. Never had a problem in the Autobahn. Just remember the left lane is a passing lane, and you have no problems.

My father got adventurous when we were headed to Chiemsee during Prague spring. He was doing about 90 adn had already pulled into the right lane, when a Mercedes passed us doing well over a 100.

Some places now have a speed limit on the Autobahn.

Quartermaster

I made the mistake of riding a Naples Taxi in ’72. Never again. It was like being in a demolition derby.

Wait, they fled to California after the accident in Florida? Isn’t that another felony?

Amateur Historian

When they were obviously (to them) the subject of a criminal investigation? Probably.

5JC

No, the law doesn’t work that way.

Amateur Historian

For Florida or anywhere?

5JC

Anywhere in the US. I know what is on the TV and movies about the police telling you not to leave town, this isn’t real life.

Every state has a unique code. However, as a civil right the police anywhere can’t detain you for more than 48 hours without presenting a case to a judge. This would include any kind travel restriction, which would also normally be issued by a judge as part of a bond hearing. The judge might also force you to surrender your passports, put a spending limit on your accounts and lots of other stuff that otherwise would be considered a violation of your rights.

If you are suspect in a crime and you run away the police might detain or arrest you, but again limited to 48 hours before you must have a hearing. The 48 hours is a hard time too. I’ve lost track of the number of times I arrested people on a Friday night and on Sunday afternoon (my day off) I’m sitting in a judge’s chambers (or in some cases on a conference call). I did one conference call while out a restaurant on my anniversary dinner. Sometimes the job follows you home.

I still have access that fine historically correct picket line rope made of Russian hemp. Our reenactor Civil War cavalry unit was run by a couple of authenticity nazi’s, so our picket line and individual picket pin ropes had to be real hemp and not that nasty, coarse Manilla rope.

Odie

I say tie him to 4 pickups pointed different directions with Indian drivers and announce there is 1 H1B Visa to the person who gets there first. Drive carefully.

It just confirms he is a flight risk for bond consideration.

As to his charges, they should remain as long as his victims stay dead. Same for his prison sentence.

Apparently, there are around 150,000 commercial drivers from India in the US. How many illegals?
And why are we importing drivers? Don’t tell me Americans would not do that job. That’s BS.

Amateur Historian

Yep. I was a CDL yard hostler for Target at their yard in Pueblo from 2021-2024. Many outside drivers from smaller companies were foreign born and barely spoke any English. Mostly of the Latin persuasion, but we did occasionally get a Slav or an Indian. We often had to help these guys find what they were looking for or they would wander the yard forever. I knew that what happened in Florida would eventually happen. My little brother even got clipped by one of these drivers when he was in his car and had the right of way (he was fine).

Why is this happening? Driving commercially is a good-paying job. There is no reason to import drivers. It doesn’t make sense.

5JC

It makes sense if you are a “not risk adverse” trucking company that has a shady insurance company and tries to undercut the market.

Amateur Historian

In my brother’s accident, he had to call the guy’s insurance company. They said, “We’ll pay you a settlement for the accident, but we still think the accident was your fault.”

Me: Um, excuse me?! The responding officer to the accident didn’t think it was my brother’s fault!

I hope that insurance company goes under.

5JC

Practically everywhere, the officer that does the accident report doesn’t determine fault.

The officer will probably note where a traffic law was broken (such as DUI or failure to yield) and might even write a prima facie citation or even arrest one or more drivers but from a civil standpoint this is just more evidence and not proof of anything. Often times during a traffic collision more than one driver could have taken steps to avoid a collision but failed to do so.

“Fault” is a civil term and police are for criminal matters. Civil lawyers and judges determine who was likely at fault and to what extent. If the insurance company settled it was cheaper than fighting it in court, no matter who was at fault. The guy was just being a jack wagon. Most insurance adjusters are jaded aholes after dealing with their 18th bogus claim of the day.

Amateur Historian

Ok. Makes sense. I guess a lot of people throw around legal terms without knowing what they mean, what they entail, and who is responsible for them. I’m no exception.

Hack Stone

You beat Hack to the punch. These companies that hire “immigrant drivers” with questionable residency paperwork and driving credentials know that they are hiring substandard drivers, but they’re willing to roll the dice. Much like drunk driving, it’s usually not a problem until there is a collision (these are no accidents, they are inevitabilities), they just close shop and come back under a new name.

Hack Stone

Yep, called it! He worked for White Hawk Carriers, Incorporated. The owner of White Hawk was previously listed as the owner of White Star Trucking, Incorporated. Navneet Huar, the owner of White Hawk/White Star reinvents himself more often than a Vice President of a proud but humble woman owned business.

It pays OK after you have a couple years experience. Entry level drivers get very low pay.

Odie

Do they pay better now than they used to? And never, EVER, drive for a company that pays percentage. They may pay 30% of the load, but they rarely tell you what the load pays and empty miles are just that. 30% of 0 is still 0.

jeff LPH 3 63-66

Before CDL’s, we had what were called classified and un classified Chaufers licences (commercial trucks) which ranged from 1-3. DMV had a guy sitting at a table and you gave him your picture, he put an oval piece of plastic over the pic and cut around it and then it got pasted to your paper licence. Everytime Brink’s got trucks with heavier bodies, a set number of us drivers got into our small bus and went to the DMV test site and took the test. I remember the last test I took on the 4 on the floor truck, I almost aced the test but got gigged when I was shifting gears while making a turn otherwise the test went Jake. the older/newer trucks had manual trainies.3 axle ones had the 15 gears with the road ranger on it. Speed shifting was great if you knew had to work it.The 1-3 licences were the same ones that got used with the new CDL’ that came out.

Amateur Historian

I used to work for Brink’s as an armored car guard, but only after they bought out Dunbar Armored (thats why you’ll sometimes still see Brink’s trucks driving around with the old Dunbar red and black paint color scheme). I left because I didn’t like their security policies (i.e. It also didn’t help that one of our number was held and robbed at gun point doing a one-manned route and another in our region got held up too on another one-man shortly before I left.).

I deleted part of my comment because of OPSEC. Even if it was 7 years ago. Long story short: didn’t feel safe doing the job anymore.

jeff LPH 3 63-66

I started work there in 1970-2007 which was United States trucking which did rigging and armored car services and then we merged with Brink’s after a couple of years and UST just stuck with there Rigging and transportation work. We used 3 man crews until the industry was de regulated and we saw companies working with 2 man crews and the original NYC armored truck companies were Brink’s, Wells Fargo and Cross Island armored car where all 3 were in the same union. We lost a number of custermers due to out bidding. I was in ground and Global services and I always worked with 2 other persons untill I retired. I saw a red Dunbar/Brink’s truck down here in florida once or twice.

Odie

Once I learned to speed shift or float the gears, I never touched the clutch except for starting out, stop and go traffic or backing up. In Illinois, and probably elsewhere, if you want say, a school bus license, the equipment you test in has to be the same equipment you want to drive. As in, it has to be yellow, has to be the same size and passenger count. It doesn’t matter if you have experience pulling a tanker, doubles, triples, have hazmet endorsement, unless its yellow, you’re SOL.

jeff LPH 3 63-66

I had the Haz-Mat endorsement because we had a customer that was shipping gold in containers with some sort of acid which leaked out inside the truck and sent 2 crew members to the hospital. I also had the Tanker endorsement on my Class B CDL. Haz-Mat required a test on renewals but Tanker didn’t. I have a regular drivers Licence after I moved to Florida. And prior licence is in the system.

I saw the claim on X that the victim’s minivan had a Kamala Harris 2024 and an “illegals are people” bumper sticker.

May have been true in 1979. Department of Education hadn’t really had a chance to work its magic yet.

Well no, but we can’t really say they have made anything better either. Every year it seems we slide down another notch or two. There is more going here than DEI failures.

If you guessed immigration is part of the problem you would be correct. Kids who are ESL typically perform much worse on standardized tests, especially if they just got picked up off a life raft in the Atlantic last month. This tends to skew the results because of the high number of immigrants.

We can’t allow these immigrant yutes to fail, imagine the stigma! They’d be ridiculed! Better to pass them through school and life. After all, we’re a nation of immigrants.

SgtM

That petition was started by the “ASSHOLES of Punjabi” or something like that. We had these curry eaters in all the time at a truck shop. Cabs stunk to high heaven and one even cut a hole in the floor board and was pissing through it. The shop manager refused to work on his truck, guy was calling him all kinds of stuff we didnt understand.

Odie

I worked at a company where the dot Indians wanted to lease a truck on at, but they also wanted a company driver to teach 3, yes 3!!!, how to drive it. The driver recruiter said yeah, no. For how big a road tractor is, there really isn’t much room in them for 1 let alone 4.

rgr769

I had to do a mediation for a lawsuit between two Punjabis. They brought both their families, so I had to sit in a windowless conference room with about 10 or eleven of them for three hours. I kept calling for bathroom breaks about every hour so I could get some trash air.

rgr769

I once tried to check into a motel that was run by dot Indians. The BO was worse than the homeless. Luckily, they were full up. The only worse smell is body decomp.

OAM

Interesting side note that appears true from what I’ve been able to find. Seems the petition was started by a person in Australia and many if not most of the signers are not resident in the US. The accusation is the petition originator is a tool of the Indian government intentionally fomenting (continuing?) a campaign of maligning Sikhs.

As someone who daily risks traveling an interstate near an intermodal facility, I concur with the warnings about the flip-flop wearing drivers. My stretch of road is under construction, two narrowed lanes, no shoulder, and jersey walls and k-rails on both sides. Can’t count how many times, literally in a single day, I am hanging back or quickly scooting past (on the left, of course) one of these “truckers” apparently incapable of keeping it in their lane.

A local social media group is up to something like 14 weeks running where there hasn’t been at least one accident on one stretch of this interstate. Yes, I avoid that singular stretch, adding 10-15 minutes average to my commute. But that beats the hours, days, or weeks of time I would lose if one of them got me. That is, if I lived through the experience.

5JC

Woah, I am really surprised. Next you are going to be telling us that his Gofundme legal defense fund is a little bit crooked.

Well, for those people who signed the petition without even being in the United States, I move that the signers be put on a “Do Not Admit” list and kept from entering the country.

The company probably already liquidated their assets. The family of those killed will have as much luck getting money from the trucking company as Bank of America and Tragero Properties did getting what Psul of The Ballsack owed them.

Unrelated: Seems some Republicans are against Trump when it comes to penalizing flag desecration. My take is that while it’s the right of a POS protester to burn the flag, a lot of problems in our country comes from low respect for our country, it’s symbols, and what they represent. Being able to burn the flag doesn’t help with that and many western countries (which are democratic) prohibit desecration of their flags.

It doesn’t actually penalize burning a US flag, it penalizes burning the US flag to incite violence. Still, a very fine line on top of a very slippery slope of first amendment rights violations. If you truly want to incite violence, burn a pride or rainbow flag.

I might have less of a problem with the “burning the US flag is a constitutional right” canard if I was extended the same courtesy with pride and rainbow flags.
