Over 2M Sign Petition for Mercy for Truck Driver in Deadly Florida Accident
Over 2.4 million individuals have signed a Change.org petition seeking mercy for Harjinder Singh, a 28-year-old truck driver accused of vehicular homicide following a deadly Florida Turnpike crash. Singh, originally from Stockton, California and India, was denied bail and could face up to 45 years in prison due to an August 12 incident where his tractor-trailer caused a fatal accident by making an illegal U-turn. The petition, initiated by "Collective Punjabi youth," urges Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to consider reducing Singh's potential sentence if found guilty. The case has led to a debate surrounding driver's license regulations for undocumented immigrants, with Singh at the center of a clash between federal immigration officials and California authorities. Singh's eligibility for clemency will depend on the outcome of his state vehicular homicide trial and possible federal deportation proceedings.
