Authorities say a truck driver living in the U.S. illegally caused a fatal crash on Florida’s Turnpike that killed three South Florida residents, sparking outrage from state and federal leaders.

Three people – two men and a woman – were killed in Florida after a semi-truck driver hauling a trailer made an illegal U-Turn on the Florida Turnpike, locked all lanes, and collided with a minivan, according to officials.
