Border Hawk EIC Discusses Fatal Indiana Collision Involving Foreign National Trucker and Amish Family
Border Hawk Editor-in-Chief Dan Lyman appeared on InfoWars with host Breanna Morello to analyze a fatal tractor-trailer collision in Indiana that claimed the lives of an American father and his two sons. The segment focused on the immigration status of the truck driver involved, identified by authorities as 30-year-old Bekzhan Beishekeev, a national of Kyrgyzstan, and the systemic vulnerabilities that allowed him to operate a commercial vehicle on U.S. roadways.
Deep Search: The Incident and Driver Status
The collision occurred in Jay County, Indiana, on State Route 67. According to Indiana State Police, Beishekeev was operating a 2022 Freightliner when he failed to slow for traffic and swerved into the opposing lane, striking a passenger van head-on. The crash resulted in the deaths of Henry Eicher, 50, and his sons Menno Eicher, 25, and Paul Eicher, 19, along with a fourth victim, Simon Girod, 23.
During the broadcast, Lyman highlighted that Beishekeev had entered the United States via the “CBP One” mobile application, a tool expanded under the Biden-Harris administration to streamline asylum processing. After being released into the U.S. interior, Beishekeev obtained a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in Pennsylvania. Lyman and Morello argued that this case exemplifies a failure of national security and public safety, specifically criticizing policies that allow foreign nationals with limited vetting to obtain professional licenses for heavy machinery shortly after entering the country.
Background: CDL Issuance and “CBP One” Controversy
The “CBP One” app allows non-citizens to schedule appointments at ports of entry, which critics, including Border Hawk, describe as a “concierge service” for individuals who might otherwise be inadmissible. Once paroled into the U.S., these individuals are often eligible for work authorization and state-issued driver’s licenses.
The segment also touched upon a broader pattern of accidents involving foreign national truck drivers. Pennsylvania, where Beishekeev obtained his license, is one of several states where non-citizens with valid work authorization documents can legally obtain a CDL. This incident follows similar high-profile cases, such as the 2025 Florida Turnpike crash involving Harjinder Singh, which have intensified the debate regarding federal oversight of state-level commercial licensing for non-domiciled drivers.
Objections and Counter-Arguments
While the InfoWars segment frames the incident as a direct consequence of immigration policy, transportation safety advocates and civil rights groups often caution against correlating immigration status with driving incompetence. Data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) indicates that the trucking industry faces safety challenges involving drivers of all backgrounds, often attributed to fatigue, distracted driving, and training gaps rather than nationality.
Furthermore, legal analysts point out that if a driver has valid federal work authorization—as those processed through CBP One often do—states are frequently compelled by law to issue licenses if the individual passes the required skills and knowledge tests. Advocacy groups argue that highlighting the immigration status of drivers in fatal accidents can unfairly demonize a labor force that is critical to the U.S. supply chain, particularly amidst ongoing driver shortages.
