Wasn’t the guy who just caused the meltdown of the San Fran Nan overpass illegal? I know that story was buried immediately except to say that he had had around 50 violations in the past 3 years. Driving an 18 wheeler.
I doubt it. I haven’t seen anything in any of the report to indicate such. He did have a criminal record, though.

I don't believe so. Nothing that I saw indicated that was the case.

IIRC, the truck had been issued that many citations against it. Nothing in the articles that I read reported specifically that he was driving the truck when they were issued. I'd suspect that many of those citations were issued for maintenance violations.
IIRC, he did have a criminal record, though. I don't recall if it was for driving violations or criminal ones.
He is legal and has a clean driving record. 10 years ago he was convicted on drug charges, he did his time and cleaned up his life. The trucking company may have supplied him with an unsafe vehicle.
Geez, do a little research before throwing crap like that out.
No, he wasn't an illegal. He is a convicted felon, who last served about 10 years ago. The problem was he was doing over 70 in that interchange maze, when he should be at 50 mph max. In addition, the truck, which is registered and driven in the U.S., not Mexico, had numerous saftey violations.
