加州高速致命车祸半挂车司机被捕,身份为非法入境的印度籍人士

摘要

据国土安全部消息,一名涉及加州10号高速八车连环致命碰撞的半挂车司机被确认是一名于2022年非法入境美国的印度籍人士。

据国土安全部(DHS)消息,一名涉及加州10号高速致命八车连环碰撞的半挂车司机被确认是一名于2022年非法进入美国的印度籍人士。该事故于周二在安大略市发生,造成三人死亡,四人受伤。

这名司机名叫贾尚普里特·辛格(Jashanpreet Singh),21岁,居住在加州尤巴市。加州公路巡警以包括药物影响下驾驶导致人身伤害和醉酒严重车辆过失杀人等罪名逮捕了他。辛格目前被拘留在圣贝纳迪诺的西谷拘留中心,无保释,预计周四将在兰乔库卡蒙加出庭。

国土安全部官员确认辛格于2022年通过美墨边境非法进入美国。有关部门正在调查他在事故发生时是否持有有效的商业驾驶执照。

今年八月,美国政府暂停发放商业卡车司机工作签证,以审查筛选和审查程序。国务院发言人表示:“正如我们在近期致命事故中看到的,外国卡车司机可能对美国人的生命安全、美国国家安全及外交政策利益构成风险。”

此次事件紧随佛罗里达州类似案件之后,涉事的半挂车司机哈金德尔·辛格(Harjinder Singh)同样是非法入境的印度籍人士,曾从加州获得商业驾驶执照,导致针对加州和华盛顿州未能遵守联邦安全和移民身份要求发放此类执照的诉讼。
