A Florida judge on Saturday denied bail to truck driver Harjinder Singh in connection with a fatal crash in Fort Pierce. Harjinder was arrested on August 16 in connection with the August 12 crash.

Investigators say Singh attempted to make an illegal U-turn with his semitruck, which caused a minivan to collide with a trailer, killing all three occupants.

The Trump administration says Harjinder Singh, 28, was in the United States illegally and entered the United States illegally from Mexico in 2018. He is being held in the St. Lucie County Jail.

Judge Lauren Sweet denied bail, saying that Harjinder Singh is an illegal alien and poses a significant flight risk. At the same time, after this accident, the Trump administration has also banned new driving work permits for people coming from other countries.
