Driver suspected of DUI in deadly Ontario freeway crash identified by authorities
KTLA ^ | October 22, 2025 | by: Travis Schlepp

Posted on 10/23/2025 3:46:12 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The man suspected of being under the influence when he crashed his tractor-trailer into a crowd of vehicles on the 10 Freeway Tuesday afternoon has been identified as a 21-year-old resident of Yuba City.

Authorities say Jashanpreet Singh was under the influence of drugs when his speeding truck crashed into several slow-moving vehicles caught in bumper-to-bumper traffic in the westbound lanes of the 10 Freeway.

Bill Melugin, a correspondent for Fox News, reported Wednesday that Singh is an Indian immigrant who is in the country illegally.

Singh, according to the California Highway Patrol, did not hit his brakes prior to the crash. He was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving under the influence.

He has since been booked into the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga to await charges for vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of drugs.

Officials have not identified the victims, and said some loved ones of those killed have not yet been contacted. At least two others were hospitalized in the fiery crash.

Rodrigo Jimenez of the CHP said two of the victims were in a vehicle that was so badly mangled and burned that investigators still aren’t able to determine the make and model. The third victim was riding in a pickup truck.

Note, the legal status of this killer is in the last paragraph. I moved it up in the post.

The families of the victims need to sue california, specifically gavin newsome, for issuing a CDL to an illegal immigrant, not reporting him to ICE, and for knowingly allowing this idiot to drive several tons of metal down a public road with their blessing.

And the enemedia knows very well that consumers of print news often read just the headline and if more, not more than two or three paragraphs in.

I once had a chat with a newspaper editor.

He told me he thought his readers were idiots.

Of course they omit the driver is illegal.

Doesn’t fit the agenda = doesn’t make the story.

I’ve watched the video of that crash several times. It makes me sick to know that neither this guy nor the guy that killed the family in Florida are the only ones on the road.

The families of the victims should sue everyone involved in giving this illegal alien a CDL license. The trucking company executives should be jailed and their assets sold off to pay the victim’s families’ restitution.

The DOT should invalidate all California driver licenses for use on the federal interstate highway system.

DHS should invalidate all NY real id’s for travel after they were caught issuing them to illegals.

THIS^^^^^

Ca is intentionally killing Americans, their way of life and trying to destroy America.

There is no other answer to any of this. NONE.

These illegal alien clowns from India, etc. have no experience driving in their own countries, where poor people don’t have cars. Most of them have no training to drive a truck and didn’t legitimately pass the written or behind the wheel tests for a commercial license. Then they are usually driving more than the legal number of hours per day.

The insurance companies should be made to pay so they stop insuring operations with illegal and unqualified drivers.

Several decades ago, we had a problem with sleepless truckers taking drugs to stay awake and causing crashes. We fixed that.

Now we’ve forgotten all about that, let any fly by night opportunists operate trucking businesses and employ any unvetted, fraudulently licensed incompetent.

My son is an American trucker. He earned his CDL at eighteen years old and started out with a small company driving a straight truck. After 50,000 miles or so experience he moved on to flatbed semi’s, at first locally then over the road.

He’s now 26 and probably has half a million safe miles. One unavoidable crash where he swerved to miss a school bus whose driver pulled directly into his path. He was driving a dump stuck and rolled it. He was uninjured but could have easily sacrificed his life for the kids in the bus. The cab was absolutely crushed. A witness reported that he had it on two wheels for about 100 feet trying to save it.

That’s what a good trucker who actually knows how to drive does.

Right, I thought Canada at first, but it looks like there is an Ontario in Cali.
