Illegal Immigrant Truck Driver High on Drugs Kills 3 in California Crash After Receiving State CDL
California has become the nation’s only state to openly defy federal trucking safety requirements, refusing to enforce English language standards for commercial drivers. The Trump administration just withheld $40 million in federal highway funds from the Golden State for this dangerous rebellion. Meanwhile, DHS warns of a “disturbing pattern”—illegal immigrants driving commercial vehicles in fatal crashes from Indiana to Florida. Each incident a preventable system failure.
Here’s what happened Tuesday on Interstate 10 in Ontario, California. Jashanpreet Singh, a 21-year-old who entered America illegally through the southern border in 2022, was high on drugs when he slammed his Freightliner semi-truck into stopped traffic at full speed. Dashcam footage captured the moment—no brake lights, no attempt to slow down, just 80,000 pounds of steel obliterating everything in its path. Among the dead: Clarence Nelson, a beloved former Pomona High School assistant basketball coach, and his wife Lisa. Three families destroyed.
From ‘San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson’:
This heinous tragedy was easily avoidable if the defendant was not driving in a grossly negligent manner and impaired. Had the rule of law been followed by State and Federal officials the defendant should have never been in California at all.
Let’s get this straight—Singh was encountered by Border Patrol when he illegally crossed in March 2022. Released under Biden’s “alternatives to detention” program. Then California, the same state that claims to care so deeply about public safety, handed him a commercial driver’s license. An illegal immigrant. High on drugs. Behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound weapon. And California gave him the keys.
Sadly, we all saw this coming. The Trump administration has been sounding alarms, issuing new restrictions on illegal immigrants operating trucks. Secretary Duffy implemented emergency English requirements specifically to prevent these disasters. But California remains defiant, the only state in the union that apparently believes highway safety is less important than virtue signaling.
