STOCKTON, Calif. — A Stockton truck driver facing vehicular homicide charges after a deadly crash in Florida will now be extradited and is facing possible deportation.
Harjinder Singh, 28, made his first court appearance Tuesday.
The case is sparking attention from politicians questioning his immigration status and why he was issued a California commercial driver’s license.
Dressed in an orange jumpsuit, Singh walked into the courtroom and put his head down before his arraignment. With the help of a translator, in one word, he requested an attorney be appointed to represent him.
“You’re here on a fugitive warrant in the state of California for three counts of vehicular homicide,” said John Soldati, who is a San Joaquin County Superior Court judge.
Investigators say Singh was behind the wheel of a semi-truck that made an illegal U-turn across all northbound lanes of Florida’s Turnpike. A minivan then collided with the truck, killing all three people inside.
Singh is now charged with vehicular homicide. During the court hearing, he was asked to sign an extradition waiver, which he agreed to. The judge said authorities have 30 days to come and pick him up.
Criminal Defense attorney Allen Sawyer says he will then be appointed another attorney in Florida.
“Usually, if it’s state cases, quite often it will be a different attorney in that state, that practices just in Florida, that would actually represent him on the real allegation – and the real allegations relate to the accident that occurred,” said Sawyer.
Federal records show Singh crossed the southern border illegally in 2018 before obtaining a California commercial driver’s license.
Secretary Sean Duffy is now weighing in on the matter after Governor Gavin Newsom posted that Singh’s federal work permit was approved in Washington, D.C.
