California Crash Spurs Clash Over Truck Licenses
U.S. Homeland Security says Jashanpreet Singh, 21, the semitruck driver accused of being under the influence in a fiery eight-vehicle crash that killed three and injured four on Interstate 10 in Ontario, California, is in the country illegally. Singh, of Yuba City, was arrested, faces vehicular manslaughter and DUI charges, and is set for arraignment Friday. Dashcam video shows a tractor-trailer plowing through traffic as flames erupt. The case prompted debate over commercial licenses: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy touted federal limits, while Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said federal authorizations enabled Singh’s license. UNITED SIKHS decried bias against immigrant drivers.
