New Mexico State Police released details and lapel video of a July traffic stop with a semitruck driver after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy criticized their failure to properly give the driver an English language test — a month before he killed three people in a crash in Florida.

Duffy alleged that if State Police had conducted an English Language Proficiency test during the July 3 stop, Harjinder Singh would not have been on the road. On Tuesday, Duffy said New Mexico could lose millions in federal funding if it continues failing to enforce English language requirements for truckers.
