Indian-Origin Truck Driver Behind US Crash Call For Light Penalty"He's Only 28": Family Of Indian-Origin Truck Driver Behind US Crash Call For Light Penalty
NDTV ^ | August 24, 2025 | staff

He is only 28', 'it was his bad luck' - the family and the entire village of Indian-origin trucker Harjinder Singh, who is staring at a potential 45-year jail sentence for allegedly causing a deadly crash in the US, is rallying behind him, calling for a lenient punishment.

A campaign has also been started online to generate support for the 28-year-old driver from Rataul village in Punjab's Tarn Taran district.

Harjinder (28) is facing charges of vehicular homicide in the US for allegedly causing a crash resulting in the death of three people on a Florida highway on August 12, according to a media report. He was driving a tractor-trailer and allegedly took an illegal U-turn.

After the accident, he fled to California but was brought back to Florida following the arrest, the New York Post reported on Thursday.

Dilbagh Singh, one of his relatives, said that Harjinder's family was not in a position to speak anything.

"The family is in shock," he said.

"We are also saddened over the death of three persons in the accident. Similar incidents have taken place earlier as well," Singh told reporters in Tarn Taran.

"His age is 28 years, and if he gets 45 years of jail, then you can imagine what will be the condition of his family," said Singh.

Singh appealed to the Sikh bodies to come forward to provide assistance to Harjinder.

He said that Harjinder had left for the US after mortgaging his land in 2018.

It is not an accident or bad luck when he was perpendicular to traffic and blocking all northbound lanes of an interstate. In some states, he could be charged with murder, like for racing on residential streets or driving the wrong way on an interstate while drunk.

Local Miami Florida media is silent on this illegal alien story today. For some reason, their focus is on homosexuals mad about crosswalks and the ACLU filing a lawsuit against Alligator Alcatraz.

You know, people who were killed because of an illegal alien isn’t important to local media.

The family of the people who died should sue WA and CA for giving that man a CDL license. Also the driver. Did he bother to look in the rearview mirror to see if there was any traffic behind him??

He should have stayed in India and endangered people there with his recklessness. He chose to illegally invade America and kill 3 people here instead. Sentence him to at least 40 years without possibility of parole. Then deport his ass as soon as the 40 years are up.

Agency belongs to the truck, the traffic, and the highway engineers, not the foreign invader. He is just the victim here.

Have the identities of the three dead in the minivan been made public, anyone know?

Where are their families, I wonder...

He's Sikh, not muzz slime. Just the same he should be removed from the U.S.

Via trebuchet.

“His age is 28 years, and if he gets 45 years of jail, then you can imagine what will be the condition of his family,” said Singh.”

Don’t care. Throw the book at him.

We have to imagine it because the victims have yet to be publically identified.

Why is that?

Two point five million illegal aliens signed a petition demanding that Americans line up and kiss punjab’s arse for killing three Americans. This country has gone to hell. The foreigners are running it now.

It was his bad luck that such an accident took place, he further said. Another villager said Harjinder did not do it intentionally. The accidents do take place, he said

That is the Third World mindset in action. The driver engaged in reckless behavior but it was "bad luck" that three innocent American cans were murdered.

His family is pleading for leniency? Exceeding leniency every step from Punjab to Florida is what lead to three innocent deaths.

I consider this case to be vehicular homicide in the second degree. He didnt mean to, but he didnt consider the consequences when he was unqualified for his truckers license.

In Florida, that is up to 15 years for each each count.
