Jashanpreet Singh, an illegal alien from India, pleaded guilty to three felony counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence for an accident that killed three people and injured four.
Singh received a sentence of four years and eight months in prison.
Four years and eight months for killing three people and injuring four:
In the collision in October of last year, Jashanpreet Singh, of Yuba City, Calif., failed to hit his brakes in slowing traffic. Dashcam video showed the big rig he was driving plowing through several passenger cars before crashing into a truck. One of the cars burst into flames. In addition to the fatalities, four people were injured in the crash.—The Oct. 21, 2025, collision took place as traffic was slowing down on the westbound 10 Freeway near the 15 Freeway interchange, according to Officer Joe Garcia, a CHP spokesperson.The crash involved four semi trucks and four passenger cars. Three people were pronounced dead at the scene, and four were transported to hospitals for treatment, Garcia said.
Singh entered the U.S. illegally in 2018. He told DHS he feared for his life in India and stayed.
However, then-President Donald Trump’s administration did not issue Singh a work visa.
But in 2021, the administration of former President Joe Biden granted Dingh a work permit, allowing him to obtain a license in California.
Singh received a full-term commercial driver’s license in Washington in 2023 despite not being eligible for one.
To make matters worse, in July 2024, California issued Singh a limited-term non-domiciled commercial driver’s license despite his failing the English Language Proficiency assessment, answering two of 12 verbal questions, and accurately identifying only one of four highway signs.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is not happy:
5 years is a slap on the wrist for KILLING 3 AMERICANSIf California followed the rules, illegal aliens like Jashanpreet Singh wouldn’t be driving 80,000 pound missiles down our roadsWe won’t stop until ALL illegal truckers are put out of business and held accountable
