Pakistani illegal truck driver arrested in U.S. three years after killing Maryland man in wrong-way crash
Dawood Hussain, a Pakistani truck driver living illegally in the United States, has been arrested three years after he killed a Maryland man in a car crash.
A Pakistani man has finally been caught by U.S. authorities three years after he caused a fatal car crash in 2023 that killed a Maryland man. However, the arrest was not carried out by law enforcement but by the Immigration Department, which arrested Pakistani citizen Dawood Hussain in March. He allegedly drove a tractor-trailer the wrong way down a Pennsylvania highway and struck Hendry Tamares Nunez’s vehicle.Both drivers tried to prevent a head-on collision, but Nunez’s car skidded, struck a guardrail, then went down an embankment and rolled into a tree. The engine caught fire and Nunez died at the scene. Hussein’s tractor-trailer was parked in the middle of Interstate 83 after being damaged in the crash.Hussein was charged with 2025 vehicular homicide, a third-degree felony. But he was not detained by police. USCIS alerted ICE while Hussein was being interviewed by immigration officials in Virginia. When he arrived for an interview on March 13, deportation officers arrested him without incident, the Daily Caller reported. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said Hussein had been living in the country illegally.“Under President Trump’s leadership, USCIS remains committed to protecting our communities, helping ensure dangerous illegal immigrants are removed from our country, and supporting the president’s call for tougher measures to prevent future truck tragedies,” USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragsser said when questioned about why an illegal immigrant was driving an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer on U.S. roads. In the October 2023 incident, Hussein ignored wrong-way and one-way signs, drove the truck south on Interstate 83 and accelerated north in the southbound lane at 44 mph.The victim, Nunez, is a naturalized U.S. citizen and the father of two children.
