A Florida truck driver has been charged in connection with a deadly crash that killed three people and injured five others in Ellington Township, Michigan, last week.

The two-vehicle crash happened at around 9 p.m. on Sept. 26 on Deckerville Road near Hurds Corner Road.

Authorities said Pavel Shchukin, 55, was driving a semi-truck on Hurds Corner Road when he failed to stop at a stop sign and collided with a Jeep traveling eastbound on Deckerville Road. Eight Cass City residents were in the Jeep at the time of the crash.

Investigators said three people died at the scene, and five others were taken to area hospitals, with some in critical condition at the time. Shchukin and his passenger suffered minor injuries in the crash and were also sent to the hospital.

The sheriff's office did not release the names of those involved in the crash.

Shchukin is charged with three counts of moving violation causing death and five counts of moving violation causing serious injuries, according to the sheriff's office.

Shchukin is being held on a $100,000 bond in the Tuscola County Jail.

Most likely an illegal alien with a CDL from California.

Is this guy an illegal? Since it’s CBS reporting it, doubt it. Sounds like another lib “both sides do it” game.

We don’t put “Зупинити” on red octagon signs.

Read English or find another job.

I’m going with sleep apnea causing sleeping driving.

He was charged with misdemeanors for a traffic violation causing death. Not a felony like the guy trying to make a uturn in a semi on an interstate. Presumably killing someone driving drunk, driving the wrong way on an interstate, or racing is more serious.

However, maybe it should be a felony killing someone with an illegally obtained CDL. If he doesn’t speak English, he couldn’t have passed the commercial drivers license exam. Hopefully, new regulations will take care of this.

NOT THE SAME CRASH OBVIOUSLY, BUT THERE IS TOO MUCH OF THIS GOING ON.

Yet another video of a fataI crash by a non-English trucker who got his CDL from Gov. Newsom

Another illegal alien.

No he isn't.

At least, not according to the article, which lists him as being a “lawful permanent resident”.

Clarification: Posted as being a lawful permanent resident in the Midwesterner article cited in a post within this thread, not in the CBS article.

Yeah, but that doesn’t mean he really passed the CDL exam.

He's not American. He is a dirty foreigner who killed 3 Americans. Toss his arse into the Gulf of America.
