Deadly Indiana Crash Sparks Debate Over CDL Vetting Insurance policies
Another American citizen is dead because of an illegal immigrant truck driver.
On Wednesday, Singh Sukhdeep — an illegal alien from India — was driving a semi-truck in Indiana and ran a red light, causing a deadly crash that killed 64-year-old Terry Schultz.
It turns out that Sukhdeep was able to get a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) last year, just before new laws went into effect to prevent illegal aliens and foreigners who don’t speak English from being able to pass the test.

This is raising a lot of questions about the need to review current CDL holders, along with raising the standards nationwide.

Sadly, this is just the latest example of a troubling pattern of illegal alien truck drivers causing the deaths of innocent, American people.
Fox News noted:
The crash comes about two weeks after Bekzhan Beishekeev, an illegal alien truck driver from Kazakhstan, allegedly killed four people in another crash in Indiana. He entered the U.S. in 2023 using the Biden-era CBP One app and was released into the country. He was later issued a CDL in Pennsylvania.
In another high profile case from last August, an Indian illegal alien Harjinder Singh, who was issued a CDL in California, allegedly made an illegal U-turn, jackknifing his truck and causing a crash that killed three people. He was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide.
The DOT said Singh had failed an English Language Proficiency test, providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying one of four highway traffic signs.
What do you think?
Do we need to federalize the CDL process in response to so many preventable fatal crashes?
Here’s what folks are saying online:
If the interstate system is federal, the same should be for CDLs.

CDLs affect Interstate Commerce which is Federal jurisdiction according to the Constitution.
Federalize CDLs.
