Over 2 million sign petition for ‘fair sentencing’ for illegal immigrant who caused Florida crash

Published August 24, 2025 8:15pm ET



An online petition is seeking “fair sentencing” for an illegal immigrant accused of causing a fatal highway crash in Florida, saying the charges against him don’t align with “the circumstances of the incident.”

On Aug. 12, Harjinder Singh, a truck driver, made an illegal U-turn in a semi-truck on Florida’s Turnpike, killing three people in an oncoming minivan. After the crash, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced an investigation into it, and Singh was most recently denied bond, with a Florida judge ruling that he constitutes a substantial flight risk. He is currently in custody on state vehicular homicide charges and immigration violations.
