THIS is the terrifying moment a truck driver suddenly pulls a U-turn on a busy highway and kills three in a horrific T-bone crash.

Harjinder Singh, residing unlawfully in the US since 2018, is accused of making a deadly turn in an “Official Use Only” section on the Florida Turnpike.

Without sufficient time to stop or space to veer away, it’s believed the minivan collided directly with a commercial semi-truck at high speed, resulting in the fatalities of the driver and two passengers.

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reported that troopers arrived at the accident site shortly before 3 PM on August 12 and proceeded to extract the victims from the vehicle.

Terrifying footage shows the moment Singh blocked the highway causing the incoming Chrysler Town and Country minivan to slam into the lorry.

The obliterated minivan’s parts appear strewn across the toll road as rescue teams desperately try to retrieve the bodies.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Singh made a crossing over the northbound lanes to execute the turn when the northbound minivan collided with the truck.

It then became wedged under the left side of the trailer, killing two passengers instantly.

While the driver was pulled out of the vehicle alive, they tragically died in Lawnwood Hospital, Fort Pierce that evening.

The names of the deceased have not been disclosed, but they have been identified as including a 37-year-old woman from Pompano Beach, a 30-year-old individual from Florida City, and a 54-year-old from Miami.

The motorist was arrested on Tuesday in St. Lucie, Florida and charged with three counts of vehicular homicide and immigration violations.

Singh, who is in custody, will be deported after the conclusion of his state charges, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said.

Dave Kerner, the department’s executive director, remarked: “The actions undertaken by the Defendant while handling a commercial tractor-trailer are both appalling and criminal.”

He added: “Three people lost their lives as a result of his recklessness, and countless friends and family members will experience the pain of their loss forever.

“Harjinder Singh is in custody on state vehicular homicide charges and immigration violations. He will no longer be able to damage and destroy the lives of Floridians and visitors.

“At the conclusion of his state charges, he will be deported. The Florida Highway Patrol remains committed to enforcing both state and federal law to ensure that people that are a danger to others face justice behind bars.”

The motorist had arrived in the US illegally in 2018 and obtained a commercial driver’s license in California.

In California, undocumented residents can obtain licenses under the Assembly Bill 60, which doesn’t require a proof of legal residence.

Singh and his two passengers, Californian men aged 25 and 28, were not injured.

Official White House Rapid Response said: “This individual is an illegal immigrant who was granted a commercial driver’s license by the State of California — and now, three innocent people are dead.

“He has been arrested for vehicular homicide and an ICE detainer has been issued.”
