Overview

• Singh is accused of crossing all northbound lanes near the Turnpike’s 171-mile marker to make an unauthorized U-turn, causing a Chrysler minivan to collide with the trailer and killing its three occupants.
• State troopers obtained an arrest warrant on August 17 and booked Singh on three counts of vehicular homicide after reviewing in-cab video and witness accounts.
• Investigators working with ICE under the 287(g) program established that Singh entered the U.S. illegally in 2018 and later secured a California commercial driver’s license.
• An ICE detainer was issued so that federal authorities can take custody for removal proceedings once his state prosecution is resolved.
• Footage from inside the truck’s cab has circulated online, prompting public scrutiny of road-safety measures and policies governing commercial licensing and immigration enforcement.
