A federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Transportation into a fatal truck crash in Florida revealed that the driver, an illegal immigrant, failed required English proficiency and traffic sign tests. The driver, who caused a collision that killed three people, was only able to correctly answer 2 out of 12 verbal questions and identify 25% of highway traffic signs. Despite these deficiencies, the individual obtained a commercial driver's license (CDL) from the states of California and Washington, both considered sanctuary states. The driver had also been stopped for speeding in New Mexico the previous month, but authorities did not conduct an English proficiency test at that time. The case has raised concerns about the licensing standards for commercial drivers, particularly in states that issue licenses to undocumented immigrants.
