DUI Dropped in Deadly I-10 Crash as DA Files Gross Negligence Counts

A clean toxicology result prompted prosecutors to pursue manslaughter plus a reckless-driving count.

Overview

  • An amended complaint charges Jashanpreet Singh with three counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and one count of reckless driving causing specified injury.
  • Prosecutors say Singh failed to stop for slowed traffic on westbound I-10 near the I-15 interchange, triggering an eight-vehicle chain-reaction collision.
  • The San Bernardino County Coroner identified Clarence Nelson, 76, and Lisa Nelson, 69, as two of the deceased, and the complaint names Jaime Flores Garcia as the third victim.
  • Authorities report three people were killed and four others were injured in the crash involving four big rigs and four other vehicles.
  • Singh remains jailed without bail, and an ICE detainer and disputed records about his immigration and work authorization status continue to draw scrutiny.
