Harjinder Singh is now in custody. As of late August 2025, he is being held in the St. Lucie County Jail in Florida following the fatal crash that killed three people. A judge has denied him bond, citing his status as an “unauthorized alien” and a potential flight risk.

Singh is accused of making an illegal U-turn with his semi-truck on Florida’s Turnpike on August 12, 2025, which caused a collision with a minivan that killed all three occupants. He faces multiple charges, including three counts of vehicular homicide.

After the crash, Singh reportedly fled to California, where he was arrested in Stockton on August 16. He was then extradited to Florida, with Florida Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins personally escorting him on the flight.

Singh is an Indian national who entered the U.S. illegally in 2018. He had obtained commercial driver’s licenses in both Washington and California. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed a hold on him, which means he will be transferred to ICE custody for deportation proceedings once his criminal case is concluded.
