Transportation Department tightens non-citizen truck driver rules after fatal crash

The Transportation Department will immediately tighten up the requirements for non-citizens to get commercial driver’s licenses after three fatal crashes this year that officials say were caused by immigrant truck drivers who never should have received licenses.

The nationwide audit of these licenses began after a fatal U-turn crash in Florida that killed two people caused by a truck driver who officials said was in the country illegally. But Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said fatal crashes caused by truck drivers who shouldn’t have had licenses were also found in Texas and Alabama earlier this year.
