An illegal immigrant from India, Sukhdeep Singh, is accused of causing a deadly crash in Hendricks County, Indiana, by running a red light and striking 64-year-old Terry Schultz’s pickup truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schultz died at the scene on February 16, 2026, in what federal officials call a fully avoidable tragedy stemming from lax border enforcement. Federal law enforcement confirmed Singh crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in 2018 as an unaccompanied minor and was released into the country. Despite holding a valid work permit and an Indiana commercial driver\u2019s license, Singh now faces charges and is detained by ICE without bond, aligning with Trump administration policies cracking down on illegal drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated: \u201cThis tragedy comes less than two weeks after another illegal alien driving a semi-truck killed four innocent people in Indiana. It is incredibly dangerous for illegal aliens, who often don\u2019t know our traffic laws or even English, to be operating semi-trucks on America\u2019s roads. These tragedies are 100% preventable and we pray for the family and victim.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singh had a history of violations, including a January crash without insurance, three speeding tickets, and a no-registration citation. Eyewitness Kate Breedlove described the chaos at the US 36 intersection, comforting Schultz in his final moments: \u201cI was just telling him everything was going to be okay. He was unresponsive, but at some point, I think he definitely took his last breath.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Republican Indiana Senator Jim Banks condemned the incident: \u201cHow many times are we going to see this same story happen again? It feels like every single week there is another family planning a funeral because illegals who can\u2019t read our road signs and don\u2019t follow our laws are allowed on our highways. This is not bad luck. This is a national crisis!\u201d Banks plans legislation to investigate trucking networks employing illegals and created a hotline for reporting such carriers.This follows similar cases, including an illegal from Kyrgyzstan killing four in Indiana and one from Georgia causing a fatal wreck. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
