Summary
A California judge sentenced 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh to four years and eight months after he pleaded guilty to three felony vehicular manslaughter counts in the October 2025 Interstate 10 crash.
Investigators said Singh never braked before his semitruck slammed into slow-moving traffic in San Bernardino County, triggering a fiery pileup that killed three people and injured several others.
Federal authorities said Singh, an Indian national in the U.S. illegally, had received a California commercial driver's license in June 2025 even though Transportation Department officials later said he should have been disqualified under emergency rules.
The case has become part of the Trump administration's broader push to revoke commercial licenses issued to immigrants lacking lawful status, after federal warnings to California to halt new non-citizen CDL issuances and review existing ones.
