The driver of a semi-truck that slammed into multiple vehicles, killing three people, on a California highway was allegedly under the influence of drugs, authorities said.

The driver, identified by authorities as 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh, has been charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under the influence of a drug causing injury in connection with Tuesday's chain-reaction crash on Interstate 10 in Ontario, according to a criminal complaint.

He is in the United States illegally since 2022 and an immigration detainer has also been placed on him, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Authorities said Singh was driving a Freightliner semi-truck and failed to stop in time when traffic in his lane had slowed or stopped Tuesday afternoon.

Three people were killed and at least three others injured in the multi-vehicle crash, according to the complaint.

Dash camera footage of the crash showed the truck slam into multiple vehicles in a fiery crash, then veer off into the shoulder and ram into additional vehicles before coming to a stop.

The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office, which filed charges against Singh on Thursday, said eyewitness and dashcam footage showed him "traveling at a high rate of speed into stopped traffic," resulting in a "massive and chaotic scene."

A 54-year-old man who was driving a Toyota Tacoma and two occupants in a Kia Sorento were killed in the crash, according to the California Highway Patrol.

A 43-year-old driver of a Dodge Avenger and a 59-year-old individual who was standing outside of a vehicle both suffered major injuries, while a 57-year-old passenger in a Chevrolet 2500 had a minor injury, police said.

Eight vehicles, including four commercial vehicles, were involved in the crash, according to the California Highway Patrol.

San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson called the incident a "heinous tragedy" that was "easily avoidable if the defendant was not driving in a grossly negligent manner and impaired."

"Had the rule of law been followed by State and Federal officials the defendant should have never been in California at all," he added in a statement.

Singh, of Yuba City, was arrested at the scene under suspicion of DUI, officials said.

The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office said it filed 3 counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and one count of DUI causing injury against Singh, noting additional charges may be filed pending further investigation.

He is being held without bail and his arraignment has yet to be scheduled. Prosecutors said they will continue to request no bail "based on the seriousness of the offense and his flight risk."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also lodged an arrest detainer for Singh, according to DHS, which said he is in the U.S. illegally from India, entering through the southern border in 2022.

"This tragedy follows a disturbing pattern of criminal illegal aliens driving commercial vehicles on American roads, directly threatening public safety," DHS said.

The department cited the arrest last week of a man, which it said is in the country illegally, over a deadly crash in Indiana.

DHS said the man was driving a semi-truck without a valid commercial license when he swerved into oncoming traffic and collided with a vehicle, killing the driver.

Wonder if the occupants of the first car he hit, saw it comin'. Shitty last second or so, knowing an assured death is closing in at 6 o' clock and there's nothing you can do.

Unfortunately, Biden was using the rules that TRUMP put in place in his FIRST term.

Keep in mind that Biden deported TWICE as many illegals as Trump has so far. And with far less damage to the country and the constitution!.

and Biden also let in 12 million illegals

Some 2 million immigrants were deported during Bush’s two terms in office.

The Obama administration limited Secure Communities to focus on the removal of noncitizens convicted of felonies. It deported a record 400,000 noncitizens in fiscal year 2013, which led detractors to refer to President Barack Obama as the “Deporter in Chief.”

Obama also targeted recent entrants and national security threats and pursued criminal prosecutions for illegal reentry to the U.S.

Obama deported about 3 million noncitizens, but the size of the undocumented population did not decrease dramatically which was hovering around 11 million from 2005 to 2022.

As of 2022, the middle of the Biden’s term, an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants lived in the U.S.

Under the second Trump administration, immigration arrests are up, but actual deportation numbers are in flux.

ICE in June arrested the most people in a month in at least five years, roughly 30,000 immigrants. But deportations of noncitizens – roughly 18,000 – lagged behind those during the Obama administration’s record-setting year of 2013 in which more than 400,000 noncitizens were deported.

The gap between arrests and deportations shows the challenges the Trump administration faces in making good on his promised mass deportation campaign.

So we'll see next year and in 2028 what the numbers are of the current administration.

If they manage to deport half a million a year, which would be a record, it still takes 22 years IF the borders are sealed 100 % which is a utopia imo as the total border with Canada and Mexico is about 7,593 miles long.

He did not deport illegals WM. He opened the boarder and lets millions in without even being checked.

Sorry, but Trump is currently 10% BEHIND BIDEN in deportations. Obama did TWICE what Biden did!

Please check the numbers. Turn off FAUX news. There is a reason they had to pay $980 million for lying.
