ONTARIO, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> Jashanpreet Singh the semi-truck driver has been sentenced to four years and eight months in state prison following a brutal high speed eight-vehicle pileup on Interstate 10 Freeway in Ontario that left three people dead.
21-year-old, Jashanpreet Singh, pleaded guilty to three felony counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence for the October 2025 crash, with the victims’ families present in the courtroom for the emotional sentencing.
The multi-vehicle collision happened on westbound I-10 just after the I-15 freeway interchange at around 1:15pm on October 21, 2025.
From the incident report said, Singh’s semi-truck failed to stop from traffic and plowed at a high rate of speed.
The violent chain-reaction crash killed three people—identified as Jaime Flores, Lisa Nelson, and Clarence Nelson—and injured four others. Dashcam video showed the severity of the impact.
Though Singh was initially arrested at the scene under suspicion of DUI, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office dropped the felony intoxication charges after toxicology reports confirmed he had no drugs or alcohol in his system.
Singh will begin serving his term in state prison.
The Department of Homeland Security said, Singh entered the U.S. illegally from India in 2022. According to Department of Motor Vehicles records, Singh did have a valid commercial driver’s license to operate a semi-truck.
