Wikipedia is censoring any and all references to Harjinder Singh's truck crash.
3 links to prove this:

Garbage site anyway
And I saw “not one second” of total coverage time on the leftist news networks like CNN and MSNBC for the story on key arrest days.
But as the heavyweight champion boxer Joe Louis said of an opponent in 1945 who bragged he could back and weave to avoid Louis’s famous punch——
“He can run but he can’t hide.”
“””And I saw “not one second” of total coverage time on the leftist news networks like CNN and MSNBC for the story on key arrest days.””””
They only focus on ORANGE MAN BAD and EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN
Exactly. No coverage time left after those.
There are tons of bad vehicular accidents every week, the vast majority of which don't even make the national news. This one became notorious because of the driver, and it got rapidly politicized.
If he'd killed two dozen people, or the truck had exploded and was found to be carrying WMDs or something, yeah, I'd expect that to be "notable". Unfortunately accidents like this one are all too common these days.
If this story is still around in another two weeks, other than in the more clickbait right-wing sources, I'll be surprised.
Wikipedia is a sewer
If I want to understand a movie plot, I go to them. That’s it.
Left wing butt wipe.
You categorize this as non story, however it is clearly laughable that the Wikipedia presentment is not dishonest,
but you’re ok with that.
The story is legit and far larger than the actual incident, as horrible as it is.
It combines -all in one package- tragic and preventable deaths, roadway trucking & safety, Illegal aliens, sanctuary cities & their policies, Democrat soft-on-crime, news favorability & coverup and the Trump administrations efforts to provide for a safe & secure nation.
Wiki has a detailed history of the Pontiac V-8 engine.
(Just in case a 1969 Catalina recently showed up in a friend’s garage…….)
You misunderstood my meaning, or perhaps I wasn't sufficiently clear.
First I didn't say it was a "non-story", indeed it's a story worth of media coverage. News media, social media? Yes. An encyclopedia? No.
Wikipedia's "notability" guidelines aren't about notoriety in social or new media, they're about uniqueness, if you will, something that makes this accident so different or so horrible that it stands out from other similar accidents.
And, as I said, unfortunately stories like this are now all too common.
And FWIW I'm not at all "okay with dishonesty". I have strong issues with what Wikipedia has become in the past decade or so. At its start it was pretty good; I even contributed a couple of articles, and last I knew, a couple of them were still there, although at least one got absorbed into a larger context article.
I don't disagree with any of what you wrote. But my opinion is that articles about it rightly belong in the news media (which has largely ignored it!) and social media (which is trumpeting it from the right and ignoring it from the left). IMO it has not yet risen to the uniqueness that would qualify it for inclusion in an encyclopedia. It might, give it time.
I did see some in-cab footage of the driver and passenger.
Driver, wearing a turban, was looking around and spinning the steering wheel.
Only saw it once.
Hard to call it a run-of-the-mill traffic collision when 100,000 sign a letter asking the alleged killer be freed.

No evidence supports claims that Wikipedia is directly connected to or funded by the CIA. Wikipedia is operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, a nonprofit organization funded primarily through donations from individuals, grants, and some corporate contributions. Financial records are publicly available, showing no CIA involvement. However, conspiracy theories persist, often fueled by Wikipedia's open-editing model, which some speculate could be influenced by powerful entities. These claims lack credible documentation and rely on speculation rather than fact.
From grok. I do wonder about this since most conspiracy theories turn out to be true.
A few days after Wikipedia debuted, I tried to search for information on the global warming hoax.
I haven’t used Wikipedia since.
And now they are gathering signatures for a petition to free or support that driver. Has America gone tipsy?
