A deadly freeway crash that killed three Americans was caused by an illegal alien truck driver who was released into the U.S. under Biden’s failed “catch and release” policies, exposing the deadly consequences of lax immigration enforcement.
See the horrific crash caught on dashcam in the FOX 11 news video below.
Story Highlights
- Jashanpreet Singh, a 21-year-old illegal alien, killed three people in an I-10 freeway crash while driving under the influence.
- Singh crossed the border illegally in 2022 and was released under Biden’s “alternatives to detention” policy.
- DHS confirmed Singh’s illegal status after he was charged with gross vehicular manslaughter and DUI.
- ICE has lodged an immigration detainer as Singh remains in custody on $250,000 bail.
Fatal Crash Exposes Immigration Policy Failures
On October 21, 2025, Jashanpreet Singh plowed his Freightliner semi-truck into slow-moving traffic on the westbound I-10 Freeway in Ontario, California, creating an eight-vehicle pileup that claimed three innocent lives.
The 21-year-old Indian national was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and gross vehicular manslaughter. Four additional victims were hospitalized in the 1:10 p.m. crash that shut down a major commercial corridor and created a hazardous materials incident from fuel spillage.
Biden’s Catch and Release Policy Enabled Tragedy
Department of Homeland Security confirmed Singh entered the United States illegally through the southern border in March 2022.
Border Patrol agents in the El Centro Sector detained him but released him pending an immigration hearing under the Biden administration’s “alternatives to detention” policy.
This dangerous practice has allowed countless illegal aliens to disappear into American communities without proper vetting or monitoring, creating preventable public safety risks.
Singh’s case exemplifies the fatal flaws in Biden’s immigration enforcement approach. Rather than detaining individuals who crossed illegally or expediting their removal, the previous administration’s policies prioritized releasing them into U.S. communities.
This policy undermines border security and puts American families at risk from individuals who have already demonstrated disregard for U.S. law.

Commercial Trucking Safety Concerns Intensify
The crash raises serious questions about how Singh obtained employment as a commercial truck driver while maintaining illegal status. California Highway Patrol investigators are examining whether Singh possessed a valid commercial driver’s license at the time of the deadly collision.
The trucking industry faces increased scrutiny over background checks and employment verification processes that failed to prevent an illegal alien from operating an 80,000-pound weapon on public highways.
Justice and Accountability Moving Forward
Singh remains detained at West Valley Detention Center with bail set at $250,000, awaiting his court appearance at Rancho Superior Court. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged a detainer, ensuring Singh cannot be released without federal notification.
The case highlights the importance of proper immigration enforcement and the devastating consequences when policies prioritize political correctness over public safety and the rule of law.
This preventable tragedy serves as a stark reminder that immigration policies have real-world consequences for American families. The victims’ deaths could have been avoided through proper border security and immigration enforcement that puts American citizens first.
