Harjinder Singh, an Indian-origin truck driver, faces vehicular homicide charges in Florida after a fatal crash that killed three. His family pleads for leniency, while a petition supporting him gains traction.

CHANDIGARH: The 28-year-old Indian-origin truck driver, Harjinder Singh, who was allegedly accused of making an illegal U-turn in Florida, killing three Americans, was denied bond on Saturday. This means that he will remain in custody as the legal process continues.

The Florida court where Indian-origin truck driver Harjinder Singh was presented ruled that Singh would not be released pre-trial as he is a substanti.

Washington authorities probe how Harjinder Singh obtained his commercial license before the wreck that has become entangled in immigration policy debates.

In reply to the growing support for Singh, a counter-petition has also been started, demanding deportation of those backing him.

Harjinder Singh, the man accused of killing three people after he allegedly made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike, has been extradited to Florida. Singh's brother has also been arrested on charges related to the deadly crash.

A Florida judge on Saturday denied bond to Rajinder Singh, an illegal migrant trucker accused of causing a deadly crash in Fort Pierce on Aug. 12 that killed three people.

Harjinder Singh, the semi-truck driver accused of making an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike that then caused a deadly crash, will remain in the St. Lucie County Jail while his court case proceeds.
