Drunk Driver Sentenced to Up to 25 Years for Crash Killing Two Teen Tennis Players

Amandeep Singh, 36, admitted guilt in a 2023 wrong-way collision on Long Island that claimed the lives of two 14-year-olds and injured two others.

Amandeep Singh, an Indian-origin construction executive, was sentenced to 8.5 to 25 years in prison for a drunk and drugged driving crash that killed two teenagers in May 2023 on Long Island, New York.
The victims, Ethan Falkowitz and Drew Hassenbein, were 14-year-old tennis players returning from a tournament victory dinner when Singh's vehicle, traveling at 95 mph in a 40 mph zone, struck their car head-on.
Singh was found to have a blood alcohol content of 0.15, nearly twice the legal limit, and was under the influence of cocaine; he fled the scene and was later apprehended hiding behind a dumpster.
In court, Singh expressed remorse, calling his actions selfish and acknowledging the grief he caused, while family members of the victims described him as 'evil' and criticized the sentence as insufficient.
Singh pleaded guilty in January 2025 to multiple charges, including vehicular homicide and leaving the scene, and will not be eligible for parole until serving the minimum sentence.
