Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Monday said all state truck weigh stations will also serve as checkpoints for Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a deadly crash this month in which a migrant truck driver allegedly made an illegal U-turn that killed three people.

Harjinder Singh, 28, who is from India, had been living in the U.S. illegally for six years when he allegedly tried to make an illegal U-turn in his tractor-trailer on Aug. 12 on the Florida Turnpike.
