Jashanpreet Singh, the 21-year-old illegal alien semi-truck driver who killed three people on a Southern California freeway last October was sentenced to under 5 years in prison on Tuesday.
Singh previously pleaded guilty to three counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence.
Superior Court Judge Shannon Faherty (D) (she was previously appointed by Governor Newsom to fill a vacancy), sentenced Singh to 4 years and eight months in prison after he killed three people and injured several others in a multi-vehicle pile-up crash.
According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, Singh is an Indian illegal alien who was caught and released by border patrol agents at the El Centro, California, sector by the Biden administration in March 2022.
“I’m told ICE is placing a detainer request on Singh with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, where he is in custody on suspicion of DUI causing great bodily injury and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. He has not been formally charged yet,” Bill Melugin said.

Three people were killed and several others were severely injured after Singh plowed into vehicles on a freeway in Ontario, California, last October.
Eyewitnesses said the collision created a massive fireball after Singh failed to stop as traffic slowed down.
It took over 24 hours from the time of the accident for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to release the identity of the driver who caused the fiery crash.
The Gateway Pundit reached out to CHP Officer Rodrigo Jimenez, inquiring about the identity of the truck driver who caused the deadly chain-reaction car accident on the 10 westbound freeway.
Officer Jimenez did not immediately respond to The Gateway Pundit’s email; however, KTLA reported later Wednesday that authorities identified the driver as Jashanpreet Singh.
Dashcam video obtained by KABC shows the moment Singh plowed into three vehicles before smashing into another semi-truck.
A total of 8 vehicles, including four big rig trucks, were involved in the deadly crash.
An eyewitness said Singh was driving at a high rate of speed when he slammed into the vehicles.
Singh was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs but a toxicology report later revealed he was not under the influence.
