Indian Truck Driver Charged in Fatal Washington Crash
A man named Kamalpreet Singh, who is from India and is in the US illegally, was driving a big truck when he crashed into another car.
The car caught fire, and the person driving it, Robert Pearson, died.
Kamalpreet was arrested for causing the crash.
He had been caught trying to enter the US illegally before but was let into the country.
Some people are saying that letting people who are not citizens drive big trucks is dangerous.
The crash happened in Washington state, and the roads were closed for a long time because of it.
Kamalpreet Singh, a 25-year-old Indian illegal immigrant, was arrested for vehicular homicide after a fatal crash in Auburn, Washington.
The crash involved three vehicles and resulted in the death of 29-year-old Robert B. Pearson.
Singh had previously been caught and released at the US-Mexico border by the Biden administration.
The crash occurred when Singh's truck rear-ended Pearson's car, pushing it into another truck and causing a fire.
US authorities have placed a detainer on Singh, and the case has sparked discussions about non-citizen driver licenses.
