Purana Shala villagers in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district Friday rallied outside a gurdwara in support of California truck accident accused and local boy Jashanpreet Singh.

Jashanpreet Singh, 21, has been charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) by the US authorities.

Refuting allegations of drug use, Jashanpreet Singh’s father, Ravinder Singh, said at the rally, “He is an Amritdhari Gursikh, someone who has lived by the principles of Sikhism his entire life. He has never consumed drugs – he hasn’t even been near them. These accusations are completely unfounded.”

“We mourn the lives lost in this tragic incident, but our son is not to be blamed for doing drugs. This was simply a terrible accident, and the drug use allegation is not only wrong but damaging,” he added.

“We want justice. We hope the Indian government will work with US authorities to ensure this case is handled with honesty and fairness,” said a local resident.

The crash claimed the lives of three people and left four others injured. The accident also drew attention to issues of safety and regulation surrounding the qualifications for commercial driver’s licences in the US.

Jashanpreet Singh is an alleged illegal immigrant in the US. He was arrested Tuesday (local US time) on charges of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated for smashing his vehicle into slow-moving traffic on a San Bernardino County freeway. Jashanpreet Singh reportedly crossed the southern US border in 2022.

Earlier in August, an Indian immigrant named Harjinder Singh was accused of causing a crash in Fort Pierce, Florida, that killed three people. Harjinder Singh reportedly crossed the southern US border illegally in 2018 and obtained a commercial driver’s licence in California.

This is for reference:

And remember: Public Employee Unions such as The American Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees are suing over the CDL restrictions imposed by the Trump Administration.

Think about that, and view this video above. They don't give a rats ass that this guy could have been driving a school bus full of kids.

People on the Left are going to say "We have accidents all the time on highways" and we should say "If illegals weren't allowed to get licenses, these people would have lived.

After shooting incidents, Leftists often push for Gun Control wailing that "IF GUN CONTROL SAVES EVEN ONE LIFE IT IS WORTH IT."

We should throw that back in their faces with respect to Illegals getting CDL licenses (in addition to every other crime committed by illegals) by saying to them "IF DEPORTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SAVES EVEN ONE LIFE IT IS WORTH IT."

Share this GIF with people. Make sure everyone sees it. We are not outraged enough at this.

This video took me by surprise. At first I didn't know what I was watching it was so surreal. I had seen the photo of the completely crushed car and couldn't comprehend how this could happen. Now I see. No one could escape this. Slow lane or parked on the side. In broad daylight. This video is beyond horrific. No one is safe on the road now.

Prayers for the victims.

"IF DEPORTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SAVES EVEN ONE LIFE IT IS WORTH IT."

You're RIGHT. I AGREE! AMEN to That!

No one is safe on the road now.

An UNDERSTATEMENT to say the least!

[rlmorel]

Exactly. Me too. I had heard people talking about it, but had not seen it. A lot of us don’t have time to drill down, follow links, etc. I thought this was important for people to see.

It sure was for me.
