Jashanpreet Singh Charged After Fatal California Semi-Truck Collision

Tragedy struck California’s I-10 Freeway when a fiery semi-truck crash claimed the lives of three people. The alleged perpetrator, identified as 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh, was taken into custody following the incident. Investigators stated that the heavy-duty truck collided with stationary traffic without any apparent braking, leading to a catastrophic explosion and fire. Beyond the three fatalities, multiple individuals sustained injuries, including Singh. Preliminary findings from toxicology reports indicated that the driver had consumed drugs prior to the accident. He is now facing serious charges, including gross vehicular manslaughter while driving under the influence. The incident has prompted commentary from the White House, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt pointing to a perceived pattern of commercial licenses being issued to undocumented immigrants. Leavitt specifically mentioned California’s role in granting a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to Singh, sparking a Department of Transportation inquiry into the state’s licensing procedures. Concerns are being raised about the vetting process for commercial drivers and its implications for public safety. The legal proceedings against Singh are ongoing.
