Gabiev Pleads Guilty in Fatal Truck Crash

A Brooklyn man named Georgii Gabiev, who entered the U.S. illegally from Russia in 2022, was arrested after pleading guilty to criminal vehicular homicide for a March 2024 crash that killed semi-truck driver Tim Tarnowski. Gabiev, driving a Ford F-350, allegedly ran a stop sign and collided with the truck, which burst into flames. Despite claiming he was sober and not distracted by an English lesson video on his iPad, he received 69 days in jail and three years probation. The victim’s widow says Gabiev’s arrest brings closure and hopes it sparks awareness to prevent similar tragedies. Gabiev now faces deportation as the case underscores the tangled intersection of immigration enforcement and criminal justice. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
