Truck driver in fatal U.S. crash was in Southern California illegally, according to DHS
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that the individual responsible for a fatal chain-reaction crash in Ontario, California, is a foreign national residing in the United States without legal status. Jashanpreet Singh, 21, of Yuba City, faced accusations of causing the collision that led to the deaths of three individuals while driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. The incident, captured on dashcam video, involved Singh's big rig colliding with multiple vehicles on the westbound 10 Freeway. The collision, which resulted in the closure of the interstate for hours, involved a total of eight vehicles, including additional tractor-trailers. The DHS identified Singh as a "criminal alien" from India who entered the U.S. in 2022 through the southern border and was released under the Biden administration. The tragic loss of life in this preventable accident underscores concerns about the dangers posed by individuals without legal status driving commercial vehicles. The victims of the crash were identified, and their legacy was honored by their respective communities. Thoughts and support are with those affected by this devastating event, emphasizing the importance of responsible and sober driving to prevent such tragedies. Singh was in police custody awaiting a court appearance.
