Fatal I-10 crash suspect pleads not guilty

A 21-year-old semi-truck driver pleaded not guilty Friday to charges stemming from an alleged drug-impaired, high‑speed crash that killed three people and injured at least three on I‑10 in Ontario, California. Prosecutors say Jashanpreet Singh rammed stopped traffic; he faces three counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and a DUI causing injury. Held without bail, he returns to court Nov. 4; a Punjabi interpreter is required. Federal officials lodged an ICE detainer and say he is in the U.S. illegally. The DOT says California improperly upgraded his CDL despite new rules restricting asylum-seekers.
