Illegal immigrant truck driver accused of killing Indiana man after running red light

Singh Sukhdeep received is commercial driver's license in May 2025. He was caught crossing the U.S. border in 2018, but released. He was a minor at the time of the crossing.

Sukhdeep is now in ICE custody.

The driver of the Chevrolet truck, 64-year-old Terry Schultz, was pronounced dead at the scene.

"This tragedy comes less than two weeks after another illegal alien driving a semi-truck killed four innocent people in Indiana," DHS told Fox News. "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 result of the decree was that children who crossed the border illegally were to be released to a parent or adult relative rather than being detained.

The Trump administration moved to abolish the Clinton-era policy in 2019, the year after Sukhdeep crossed the border.

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.
