Driver suspected of DUI in deadly Ontario freeway crash identified by authorities

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.

Exactly! Both CA and NY have issued unknown thousands of “Real IDs” to illegal aliens, and have also issued an unknown number of CDLs to illegal truck drivers. All licenses from both States should be immediately rendered invalid for travel via interstate highways and commercial airlines.

My father was an owner operator truck driver. Meaning he owned the Semi tractor that was leased to Chemical Leaman Tank Lines. He hauled primarily chemicals and other liquid and semi liquid products in the Stainless Steel tank trailers.

He had many years of experience prior to getting a trucking job hauling flamables, caustic, and other dangerous products. Items like acids, rocket propellant, blue indigo dye, palmalive dish soap, processed sugar, etc. Those are just some of the ones I recall.

He said the only higher paying truck driver job back then in the 1970s was hauling nuclear waste. Which in addition to having a spotless driving record you needed a special license. That was the highest paying CDL driving job in the country.

I had to look that one up. Other than 4 hour backups, no one was killed as far as I can tell. I got lucky about a decade ago in Michigan on I-94 when an 18 wheeler decided to spontaneously combust in heavy traffic. It was pulling off to the emergency lane when I passed it. Smoke and flames were just getting started.
