An illegal immigrant truck driver has been arrested and faces deportation after allegedly attempting to make an unauthorized U-turn in Florida — resulting in a crash that killed three people.

Harjinder Singh, who entered the country illegally and obtained a commercial driver’s license in California, has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide in connection with Tuesday’s fatal crash, according to a news release from the Florida Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer has been issued, according to an X post from the Official White House Rapid Response account.

“The actions taken by the defendant while operating a commercial tractor-trailer are both shocking and criminal,” FLHSMV Executive Director Dave Kerner said in a statement. “Three people lost their lives as a result of his recklessness, and countless friends and family members will experience the pain of their loss forever.”

A law passed in 2013 allows California residents to obtain a driver’s license, regardless of their immigration status.

ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
