The alleged semi-truck driver who killed three people while making a U-turn at an “Official Use Only” turn on the Florida Turnpike is an ILLEGAL MIGRANT who was granted a commercial driver’s license by the State of California.

Right. And the only reason to do that (I’ve done it - carefully) is because you’re going north instead of south or the reverse.

When you get to the next toll booth you have to pay the full fare (from Miami to PSL or Orlando to PSL) b/c you have no ticket for the proper direction. So it was going to cost him an additional $25 or so. I’m sure he had a Sunpass. Sunpass would have just charged him if he hadn’t somehow turned around.

Let’s hope so. Three people weren’t so lucky.

He was in the North Bound lane. Not sure what having or not having a SUnPass has to do with him killing three people because he decided to do an illegal UTurn.

I wasn’t suggesting he was driving against traffic (he was driving perpendicular to it when he stupidly tried to u-turn a big truck though). He just exited a rest stop going the wrong direction - with traffic - and tried to make a u-turn to correct it.

It’s not like I-95 where you can just get off the next exit and get back on in the other direction.

If he was traveling north and trying to u-turn to the southbound lanes, that is the only reason to do that. That means his original destination was south of PSL.

Looks like he was in the right hand lane and incredibly made the U-turn from there cutting off the van. He should be charged with murder.

There are people on this very site who whine and cry about arresting people who are here illegally because they have not done anything horrible.... yet.

If this dear fellow had been arrested before he killed they would be having a cute little meltdown about it because he is just the kind of hard working person this country needs and oh boo-hoo.

We do not need to import more bad drivers. We have plenty of native born who will fill those slots.

Again, that is not what happened. He attempted to make a Uturn through the FHP official use only cut through. There are videos showing this. I live in St. Lucie County. Why you are insisting what happened did not happen I don’t know. There was no going through the service plaza. The plaza at St Lucie County is at mile marker 144. The accident happened near mile marker 171.

Well, why was he trying to go south if he didn’t a) go the wrong way out of the rest stop and miss the Ft. Pierce exit or b) got off at Ft. Pierce and got back on heading north instead of south?

USC 8 1324 provides life imprisonment not only for the illegal but the employer who hired him along with the landlord that housed him if found guilty.

During FMCSA’s interview with the driver, investigators administered an English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment in accordance with FMCSA guidance. The driver failed the assessment, providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs.

“If states had followed the rules, this driver would never have been behind the wheel and three precious lives would still be with us. This crash was a preventable tragedy directly caused by reckless decisions and compounded by despicable failures. 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,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “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. The families of the deceased deserve justice.”
