The horrifying tragedy unfolded at around 12 p.m. on Wednesday in Hendricks County.
The Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) responded to a multi-vehicle crash at a busy intersection near the town of Avon.
Deputies determined the driver of a tractor-trailer had run a red light and slammed into a Chevrolet pickup truck, causing it to strike a Chrysler waiting in a turn lane.
The driver of the pickup, identified as 64-year-old Terry Schultz, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Indiana State Police (ISP) arrested Sukhdeep Singh, a 24-year-old illegal alien from India, federal sources told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin.
Singh reportedly crossed the southern border as an ‘unaccompanied minor’ in 2018 and was released into the interior, likely to a relative or sponsor.
Singh was reportedly driving on a non-domiciled commercial driver’s license (CDL) issued by the state of Indiana at the time of the accident.
However, Singh previously lived in New York and was issued a CDL there, according to FOX59 news anchor Angela Ganote.
“Looking at his Indiana driving history he has 5 citations since 2022 and many are wondering how he was able to get a CDL in Indiana. We don’t yet know the answer,” Ganote reports.
“He was ticketed for not having insurance after a car crash on January 8th on Harding Street. He has 3 previous speeding tickets where he was accused of traveling 89 in a 70, 76 in a 55 and 74-55. He also has a citation for no registration.”
Singh is reportedly in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and an investigation is ongoing.
InfoWars has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for more information and will continue to monitor this story for developments.
Foreign truck drivers — many of whom are Indian — are wreaking havoc on U.S. highways, as we frequently report.
