卡车司机因加州致命车祸被逮捕;当局指控其涉毒驾驶及非法移民身份

摘要

一名21岁卡车司机在加州安大略州10号州际公路发生致命车祸后面临指控,官员称其涉毒驾驶且非法入境美国。

一名21岁的卡车司机在加利福尼亚州安大略市10号州际公路发生致命多车连环碰撞事故后被逮捕。警方称该司机当时处于毒品影响下,且非法进入美国。

加州公路巡警(CHP)报告称,司机身份为来自尤巴市的贾尚普里特·辛格(Jashanpreet Singh),周二下午驾驶一辆弗莱特莱纳半挂卡车时未能在交通减缓时停车,导致涉及八辆车辆的连环追尾事故,其中包括四辆商用卡车。事故造成三人死亡,至少四人受伤。

调查人员调取的行车记录仪视频显示,该半挂卡车先后撞击多辆车辆,随后偏离道路,撞击路肩上的其他车辆。辛格当场被逮捕,并被控酒后严重车辆过失杀人罪及毒品影响下驾驶造成身体伤害罪。他被拘留且无保释,预计周四出庭。

国土安全部(DHS)表示,辛格于2022年非法从墨西哥进入美国,现已对其下达移民扣押令。国土安全部对该事件发表评论称:“这起悲剧反映了犯罪非法移民驾驶商用车辆在美国道路上日益严重的模式,直接威胁公共安全。”

交通部长肖恩·达菲(Sean Duffy)针对该事件发表声明,强调近期政策调整:“这正是我设立新限制,禁止非法移民驾驶卡车的原因。”达菲还宣布计划扣留加州4000万美元联邦资金,因其未能执行商用司机英语语言要求。

加州公路巡警正在继续调查此次事故,包括核实辛格事发时是否持有有效的商用驾驶执照。
