A California semi-truck driver pleaded guilty after prosecutors say he was high when he triggered an eight-vehicle crash that killed three people

California man Jashanpreet Singh, 21, pleaded guilty on July 9, 2026, to three counts of felony vehicular manslaughter after a devastating multivehicle pileup in Ontario, California. Singh initially entered a plea of not guilty, but when he finally changed it to guilty, other aspects of the case — like the allegation that he was on drugs and his immigration status — took center stage.

Back on Oct. 21, 2025, Singh was just another California trucker, and it was just another workday. Reportedly, he was speeding westbound on Interstate 10 in Ontario, but when he encountered traffic ahead of him, Singh failed to slow down. Instead, his truck plowed directly into the vehicles in front of him, causing a devastating multivehicle crash that killed three people and injured four more.
