Illegal Immigrant Plows 18-Wheeler Into Military Humvee, Killing National Guardsman

An illegal immigrant who was given a trucking license by New York State allegedly caused a multi-car collision that killed an Indiana National Guardsman while behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler, The Daily Wire has learned.

Georgian national Goderdzi Gujabidze, 56, was driving a truck towing a trailer carrying multiple cars when he collided with a military Humvee and a small Subaru. Indiana National Guardsman Terry Frye died at the scene, and three other victims were hospitalized.

The illegal immigrant trucker received a non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s License in New York after he was waved across the border in San Luis, Arizona, by the Biden administration in 2022, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire. The Trump administration said the blame is on the sanctuary state of New York for allowing him to drive the heavy truck.

“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,” Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement shared with The Daily Wire.

“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,” McLaughlin added.

When the authorities tried to communicate with Gujabidze at the scene, they discovered a “language barrier” that required “a translator,” according to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has since lodged a detainer to take Gujabidze into custody upon his release.

The Trump administration recently commenced a crackdown on states issuing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, with the worst offender being California, after a series of fatal collisions.

Federal authorities recently discovered that an Uzbek illegal immigrant on the terror watchlist for allegedly distributing terrorist propaganda calling for jihad online and recruiting fellow terrorists was carrying a Pennsylvania trucking license.
