Semitruck driver arrested after killing 3 people in DUI crash in US illegally: DHS

Published



A semitruck driver allegedly responsible for killing three people and wounding four others after plowing into several vehicles while under the influence illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border in 2022 under the Biden administration, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

A statement from the DHS identified the driver as Jashanpreet Singh, a 21-year-old Indian national. Dashcam video of the crash showed Singh’s truck plowing into three vehicles in front of him at full speed while they were stopped, destroying two and severely damaging the other. His momentum was only stopped by another truck, which caused his semitruck to catch fire and veer into other vehicles. In all, the crash destroyed or damaged eight vehicles, killing three people and injuring four, including Singh.
