Once again, the nation is shaken by news of a horrific and deadly car crash initiated by an illegal alien behind the wheel of a tractor. Somehow, vast portions of the legacy media found this story to be unworthy of air time.
This story escaped the respective notice of CBS and NBC, but not ABC. Below is that report in its entirety:
DAVID MUIR: Tonight, the truck driver charged in a deadly chain reaction crash in southern California. This case is now at the center of a new battle over immigration in the U.S. The driver is accused of driving under the influence. Authorities also say he was in this country illegally. Here's Matt Gutman.
MATT GUTMAN: Tonight, this dash cam video of a chain reaction crash that left three people dead on a California highway, now at the center of an investigation and the debate over immigration. The driver behind the wheel of a tractor trailer facing charges of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, for causing that horrific crash on the 10 freeway east of Los Angeles. 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh of India was driving with a valid California commercial license, but ICE officials say he was in the country illegally. It comes after another deadly crash in Florida. The Department of Homeland Security says this driver, also with a California commercial driver's license and in the country illegally, allegedly made a reckless U-turn on the Florida Turnpike, causing a crash that also killed three people. California officials say that driver in Florida had a work permit at the time he was issued a license. Tonight, this latest crash in California is under federal investigation and among the victims killed, a high school basketball coach and his wife. And tonight, The White House weighing in.
KAROLINE LEAVITT: These tragedies are following a disturbing pattern of these criminal illegal aliens being issued commercial vehicle licenses and so, yes, the Department of Transportation is absolutely cracking down on that.
GUTMAN: And David, Florida's attorney general now asking the Supreme Court to prevent states like California from issuing commercial driver's licenses to people in the country illegally. They're saying it is a matter of public safety. David.
MUIR: Matt Gutman with us tonight reporting. Matt, thank you.
The truck driver’s status as an illegal alien was first reported by Fox’s Bill Melugin:

ABC’s report was concise, factual, and included relevant information. Additionally, correspondent Matt Gutman included the details of the illegal alien that killed 3 in a Florida wreck.
However, CBS and NBC had no time for reporting on this arrest. Omissive bias strikes again.
