An Indian truck driver was detained after a semi-truck he was operating allegedly ran a red light and triggered a three-vehicle crash that killed a 64-year-old Indiana man on 18 February, according to Fox News. The collision occurred at a rural intersection west of Indianapolis, where authorities said the semi struck a pickup, leading to the fatal chain-reaction crash.

The crash comes amid heightened scrutiny in the US over commercial driving licences issued to foreign-born drivers, particularly after several recent deadly crashes involving Indian truck operators.
The Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Indiana State Police assisted at the crash and detained one of the drivers, Sukhdeep Singh, for federal immigration authorities. Television footage from the scene showed officers placing a man in handcuffs near the damaged semi-truck.
Officials said it is still unclear whether alcohol or drugs played any role in the crash. They are examining vehicle data, skid marks and signal timing.
