A day after a 64-year-old man was killed in Indiana in a crash caused by a negligent truck driver who ran a red light, reports claimed that the truck driver had been identified as Singh Sukhdeep, who received his commercial driver’s license from Indiana in May 2025. There has been no official confirmation about the driver’s identity. Singh is now under ICE custody. The crash took place on Wednesday on US 36 at the road’s intersection with County Road 525 East — involving three vehicles.
A Freightliner semi-truck with a trailer was reportedly travelling eastbound on US 36 when it allegedly ran the red light at the intersection. The truck reportedly struck a Chevrolet truck travelling northbound. The Chevrolet struck a Chrysler that was in the left turn lane, travelling westbound on US 36. The Chevrolet occupant, 64-year-old Terry Schultz, was pronounced dead at the scene. One driver was detained by ICE. No other details were revealed on Wednesday.
On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security released a statement condemning the practice of giving illegal aliens driving licenses. “This tragedy comes less than two weeks after another illegal alien driving a semi truck killed four innocent people in Indiana,” the statement read. “It is incredibly dangerous for illegal aliens, who often don’t know our traffic laws or even English, to be operating semi-trucks on America’s roads. These tragedies are 100% preventable, and we pray for the family and victim.” The incident came at a time when Indian-origin truck drivers in the US are on the radar and the Donald Trump administration blames the Biden administration for leniency in policy
