On August 12, 2025, tragedy struck on Florida’s Turnpike near the St. Lucie County border when a semi tractor-trailer attempted a U-turn in an “official use only” area, leading to a catastrophic collision with a minivan. According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), three South Florida residents, a 30-year-old man from Florida City, a 37-year-old woman from Pompano Beach, and a 54-year-old man from Miami, lost their lives.
While the official crash investigation is ongoing, the details already released point to a dangerous maneuver by a commercial truck driver that raises serious legal questions about liability, safety regulations, and the rights of grieving families to pursue justice.
The Florida Highway Patrol’s preliminary report states that just before 3:00 p.m. on August 12, both vehicles were traveling northbound on Florida’s Turnpike.
The semi tractor-trailer, a 2024 International model with a box trailer, was driven by a 25-year-old California man and accompanied by a 28-year-old male passenger. Neither was injured. The minivan, a 2015 Chrysler Town & Country, carried three South Florida residents — all of whom tragically lost their lives. The crash occurred when the semi, traveling in the outside lane, attempted a U-turn into an “official use only” median opening. These access points are typically reserved for law enforcement, emergency vehicles, and authorized maintenance crews, not general commercial truck use.

I hope they sue California for billions for giving him a CDL license.

Option 1 go fund me account to set up a reward for punjab’s early demise
The bureaucrats that issued the CDL in WA and CA should also be liable; but their qualified immunity will unfortunately save them.
One of the things the lawyers are likely to do is pursue options that may allow them to pierce the shield of personal protection for the owners of a limited liability company or corporation. I am not a lawyer, but I would think that criminal charges against the owners of the company would help that cause in a big way.

Anyone know how to set up an NGO?
Why is he labeled a California man when he is a citizen of another country?
The grieving families effectively have no recourse because the driver is destitute and the trucking company has no real assets to be claimed. There might be some actual insurance but getting money from a legitimate Insuror for such a claim will be hard. If the Insuror is an illegitimate California pretend Insuror, there is still nothing
The primary fact to keep in mind is that all the entities to be sued are in California. California is a lawless former American state
bttt
Sickening. No amount of monetary compensation can replace the loss for the family and friends. Holding all those accountable for this horrible event would be
a good start IMO.
I hope they check his voting record in CA....
IMO, any “deep pocket” that assumes any responsibility for preventing such individuals from being behind the wheel of a semi should be sued. This would include the company that hired him, the government that gave him a license, etc.
I am still trying to figure out how he illegal driver was able to fly to CA the next day
I can’t find any info that Fla arrested him day he killed those 3 innocent pple.
You miss the point.
There are no “deep pockets”. That’s the whole point, the business model.
The insurance companies need to stop insuring companies that hire illegals, etc. Maybe they don’t have $1M+ insurance and just go out of business when they have an “accident”.
Liability Insurance. The company probably is required to carry at least a million.
By the way, the guys in that ad look pretty happy about this whole situation.
