Deadly semitrailer crash in California renews federal criticism of immigrant truck drivers

  • Dashcam footage shows Singh's Freightliner tractor-trailer ramming vehicles on the I-10 Freeway in Ontario on October 21, 2025, causing an eight-vehicle pileup that killed three and injured four.
  • Border Patrol records show Singh first entered the U.S. in 2022 and was released under the Alternatives to Detention programme while his case proceeded; ICE lodged an immigration detainer after his arrest.
  • CHP investigators said toxicology confirmed drug impairment and Singh sped without braking, causing a massive fireball that burned two victims beyond recognition, including Clarence Nelson, former Pomona High School assistant basketball coach.
  • Prosecutors say Jashanpreet Singh is being held without bail after arrest at the scene and hospital checkup, with a court appearance set for Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. in Rancho Superior Court.
  • The incident follows a string of fatal crashes involving undocumented truck drivers, prompting Secretary Sean Duffy to note a $40 MILLION federal highway-safety funding freeze and new CDL rules affecting approximately 200,000 individuals.
