अमेरिका में फिर लापरवाही से गई एक व्यक्ति की जान… भारतीय ट्रक ड्राइवर गिरफ्तार – america indiana truck crash indian driver arrested ntc rlch
An Indian truck driver has been detained after a horrific road accident in the American state of Indiana. It is alleged that the driver crossed the red light, causing a collision between three vehicles and the death of a 64-year-old man. The driver has been identified as Sukhdeep Singh. The accident occurred on February 18 at a rural intersection in Hendricks County, west of Indianapolis.
According to local media reports, a Freightliner tractor-trailer traveling eastbound at the junction of US 36 and County Road 525 East failed to stop at a red light and collided with a northbound Chevrolet pickup. After the collision, three vehicles collided with each other in a chain reaction.
The Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Indiana State Police have detained truck driver Sukhdeep Singh for federal immigration authorities. In TV footage from the scene, policemen were seen handcuffing a man near the damaged truck.

According to the report, Sukhdeep Singh was issued a Commercial Driving License (CDL) from Indiana in May 2025. It is not yet clear whether alcohol or drugs played a role in the accident. The investigating agencies are examining the vehicle data, brake marks and timing of traffic signals.
Some local media reports claimed that he was caught at the border in 2018 and was later released. At that time he was said to be a minor.
Increased surveillance on foreign drivers
This incident happened at a time when America There has been increased scrutiny and strictness regarding truck drivers of foreign origin, especially those of Indian origin. Questions have been raised about the process of issuing commercial licenses to non-citizen drivers after some fatal accidents in Indiana and other states in recent months.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has linked this matter to security concerns related to non-citizen drivers. In a statement to Fox News, the department said, ‘Illegal immigrants driving semi-trucks on America’s roads can be extremely dangerous, especially if they do not have adequate knowledge of traffic laws or the English language.’
Cases have already come to light
Recently, in another case in Oregon, an Indian national was charged with murder after two people were killed in a semi-truck accident. Officials said that he had entered America without documents and later obtained a commercial license. In Florida too, the debate intensified after three people died after an Indian truck driver allegedly took an illegal U-turn.
