Pakistani truck driver Dawood Hussain, who was living in the US illegally, has been arrested three years after he killed a Maryland man in a road accident.
A Pakistani man has finally been captured by authorities in the US, three years after a Maryland man died in a fatal accident in 2023. However, the arrest was not made by law enforcement but by immigration, which had nabbed Dawood Hussain, a Pakistani national, in March. He was driving a tractor-trailer when he allegedly drove the wrong way on a Pennsylvania highway and collided with Hendry Tamarez Nunez’s vehicle.Both drivers tried to avoid a head-on collision, but Núñez’s car spun, struck a guardrail, and then went down an embankment and into a tree. The engine caught fire and Nunez died at the scene. Hussain’s tractor-trailer was stopped in the middle of I-83 after being damaged in the accident.Hussain was charged in 2025 with the third-degree felony of homicide by vehicle. But he was not in police custody. USCIS alerted ICE because Hussain had an interview with immigration officials in Virginia. As he arrived for an interview on March 13, deportation officers arrested him without incident, the Daily Caller reports. USCIS said Hussain was living in the country illegally.“Under President Trump’s leadership, USCIS is committed to protecting our communities by helping expel dangerous illegal aliens from our country, while also supporting the President’s call for even stricter measures to prevent future truck tragedies,” said USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser, questioning why an illegal alien was driving an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer on American roads. In the October 2023 incident, Hussain ignored the wrong direction signal and one-way indicator sign and drove his truck onto I-83 southbound and northbound in the southbound lanes at a speed of 44 mph.The victim, Nunez, was a naturalized US citizen and the father of two children.
