“Per multiple ICE sources, Jashanpreet Singh, the semi-truck driver suspected of killing three people in a DUI crash on the 10 freeway in Ontario, CA yesterday, is an Indian illegal alien who was caught & released at the CA border by the Biden admin in March 2022. DHS photo of him attached via federal sources,” Melugin said.
“I’m told ICE is placing a detainer request on Singh with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, where he is in custody on suspicion of DUI causing great bodily injury and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. He has not been formally charged yet,” he continued.
“Police say Singh was speeding and under the influence, never hitting his breaks, when he crashed into slow moving traffic on the freeway, causing a devastating and deadly chain reaction crash that killed 3 people. The victims have not been identified yet,” he added.

A witness, who was standing by a parking lot that faces the 10 Freeway at the time of the incident, said the crash sounded like a big explosion as he recalled a red truck, allegedly driven by Singh, barreling down the freeway before the impact, according to NBC Los Angeles. “It didn’t stop. It didn’t swerve. It didn’t make any kind of maneuvers. It just went straight in,” Jason Calmelat said describing the horror.
“The truck rolled and veered to the right into the embankment, and I saw the truck drive jump out because it was on fire,” Calmelat said. The three victims who were killed in the crash were not identified. The four injured people including Singh, and a mechanic who was helping change a tire on the side of the freeway at the time of the crash.
“It was one of those crashes where there were car parts everywhere. We had a hazardous material incident. It was a very large scene,” Officer Rodrigo Jimenez with the CHP said. “This could have been prevented if somebody had been paying attention sober.

KTLA shared further info:
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.
Part of the investigation now involves reconstructing the crash and determining if there are additional factors that may have contributed, including potential mechanical issues that played a role in addition to alleged impairment.
“The fact that there are so many commercial vehicles involved in the crash, there’s a lot of weight behind the crash force,” Rodrigo said. “This is a very complex investigation and that’s why officers from our multi-disciplinary accident investigation team have taken over.”
A video purportedly from the involved big-rig’s dash cam was shared to social media and appeared to show the moments leading up to the crash and the decimation of vehicles caught in the path of the speeding truck.
Rodrigo confirmed to KTLA’s Ellina Abovian that the video will be part of the overall crash investigation. He urged any and all drivers on California roads to follow traffic laws, drive the speed limit and help each other prevent future unnecessary deaths.
“This is a tragic crash because it was very preventable,” Rodrigo said. “If somebody had just paid attention, if everyone was driving sober, this tragedy would not have occurred.”
Bill Melugin, a correspondent for Fox News, reported Wednesday that Singh is an Indian immigrant who is in the country illegally. KTLA has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for confirmation.
