Trucker faces 45 years after deadly florida u-turn — millions demand leniency

A Florida truck crash that killed three people has sparked one of the biggest petitions of 2025. 28‑year‑old Harjinder Singh, accused of making an illegal U‑turn that blocked a highway, faces up to 45 years in prison on vehicular homicide charges. But a petition started in Australia’s Indian community — now with more than 3.1 million signatures — calls for leniency, arguing the tragedy was an accident, not a deliberate act. The case has ignited debate across the US, India, and Australia, with Trump’s administration halting trucker visas while diaspora groups rally to Singh’s defence. Change.org says it’s the fastest‑growing campaign of the year — and one of the most divisive.
