First there was Harjinder Singh of Stockton, illegally in the U.S., who is the truck driver accused of making an illegal U-turn on a Florida turnpike that caused the deadly August crash killing three South Florida residents.

“Dashcam footage from the semi-truck showed the moment Singh attempted the illegal U-turn with his vehicle, blocking all northbound lanes of the Turnpike,” CBS News reported. “The video captured the minivan crashing into the trailer and becoming trapped underneath.”

Singh fled back to the sanctuary state of California where his commercial license was issued, but was nabbed by U.S. marshals in the San Francisco Bay Area, and extradited back to Florida by Florida Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, the Globe reported Wednesday.

We now know he failed his drivers test 10 times in Washington State, but was eventually issued a CDL from California.

Another horrid wreck happened, this time in Southern California on Wednesday. Jashanpreet Singh of Yuba City, a 21 year old illegal alien who entered the U.S. illegally but was released by Biden admin in 2022, is a semi-truck driver who Wednesday plowed his truck into several vehicles including a van and the back of a semi-truck that left three deceased and four injured.

He never hit his brakes, or maneuvered out of the way.

Jashanpreet Singh had a commercial drivers license issued by California.

Bill Melugin with Fox News reported:

Per multiple ICE sources, Jashanpreet Singh, the semi-truck driver suspected of killing three people in a DUI crash on the 10 freeway in Ontario, CA yesterday, is an Indian illegal alien who was caught & released at the CA border by the Biden admin in March 2022. DHS photo of him attached via federal sources.

A helicopter spun out of control and crashed into a pedestrian bridge along Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach on Saturday afternoon, horrifying nearby beachgoers and sending five people to the hospital.

The crash was reported just after 2 p.m. Oct. 11 across the street from the oceanfront Hyatt resort, when the chopper began to spiral and then slammed into a stairwell leading to a bridge that connects a beachfront parking lot to the hotel.

A Cars ‘N Copters on the Coast event was scheduled for the area on Sunday, and a “helicopter landing party” was underway on Saturday.

Two people in the helicopter and three people on the street – including, reportedly, a child – were transported to a hospital.

Video footage obtained by news freelancer OnScene.TV, below, shows the helicopter descending toward the street when it suddenly began spinning and then hit the stairwell to the bridge crossing PCH.

Part of the helicopter broke off before the crash. People watching and filming the chopper from the sand as it approached were astonished, some videos show, repeatedly hollering, “Oh my God,” after it began to spiral and then hit the cement.

On Saturday evening, Jerry Miller of Redlands confirmed in a telephone call that his son-in-law Eric Nixon was piloting the helicopter when it crashed.

“He’s in the hospital with some broken ribs, crushed vertebrae and several bruises,” said Miller, adding, “But I’m sorry, we have some things going on” before terminating the call.

Earlier, Rancho Cucamonga resident Jackson Etchert was in Huntington Beach for the Cars ‘N Copters event. He was standing on the bridge, about 100 feet away, he said, when the crash occurred.

“I noticed when the second one came, it was spinning weird,” he said. “I’m like, ‘Hmm, I wonder if it’s doing a trick.’ Then, I saw it spinning even faster, and I’m like, ‘Nope, that thing is crashing.’ ”

As he observed, “First the tail rotor snapped. Next thing I know I see something looked like it hit the main rotor blade.”

He shared a video with a closer look at the crash:
