An illegal alien who held a commercial driver’s license issued by the State of New York was arrested over the weekend after a multi-vehicle crash in Boone County, Indiana, that resulted in the death of an Indiana National Guardsman.
The driver, identified as 56-year-old Georgian national Goderdzi Gujabidze, is now in custody following the incident.
Authorities said Gujabidze was operating an 18-wheeler when he collided with a military Humvee and another vehicle.
Indiana National Guardsman Terry Frye was pronounced dead at the scene. Three additional individuals were transported to a hospital for treatment.
When deputies attempted to communicate with Gujabidze, law enforcement reported a “language barrier” that required the assistance of a translator.
Officials later confirmed that Gujabidze had obtained a non-domiciled commercial driver’s license in New York. According to information reviewed after the accident, he entered the United States in 2022 at San Luis, Arizona.
Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement to The Daily Wire addressing the incident.
“Another senseless and avoidable tragedy on America’s roads at the hands of an illegal alien driving a commercial vehicle. Sanctuary states are recklessly providing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens who should not be operating 18-wheeler and trucks on America’s highways,” she said.
McLaughlin added, “Thanks to the cooperation from Boone County Sheriff’s Office, this illegal will never again be allowed to terrorize American roads again. We pray for the family of Terry Frye as they mourn the loss of their son and thank him for his service to this nation.”
