Chamkaur Singh, 30, was pulled over by police in Moab, Utah, on September 1 while driving a semi-truck. The warrant was linked to a March 29 crash in Ontario, California, in which seven vehicles were involved. During the traffic stop, officers found a nationwide warrant from California charging him with homicide-vehicular manslaughter, Dailywire reported. He was then arrested by US Border Patrol after entering the country but was later released, DHS said.
An Indian truck driver wanted in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in California was arrested in Utah months after the crash, when police stopped him for speeding and discovered a warrant linked to the deaths of two people. Singh allegedly fled the scene after the crash. He was arrested without incident in Moab and booked into the Grand County Jail. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer against him the following day. Singh remains in custody in Utah over the California warrant.
California Highway Patrol officers were responding to an earlier two-vehicle collision when a semi-truck travelling in the slow lane rear-ended a car, killing one passenger and critically injuring another.
