Manitoba RCMP issue nationwide warrant for Ontario trucker following fatal highway crash
Manitoba RCMP have issued an arrest warrant for an Ontario truck driver who was allegedly involved in a crash that killed a woman and an eight-year-old girl.
Brampton, Ont., resident Navjeet Singh has been charged with two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death as well as obstructing a peace officer.
Police say officers have attempted to locate the 25-year-old in Winnipeg but have been unsuccessful.
Police were called last week to a rural area west of Altona, Man., where a sport utility vehicle had collided with a semi-trailer that failed to stop at a rural intersection.
At the time, Singh was transported to a hospital where he was treated and released. Police say the deceased woman was 35.

This dude already has his feet up in the Punjab.
This is not the same incident but one of my trucks was involved in a fender bender and the other truck just left the scene. Humph
This is what you get when Government passes off their responsibility to a private company and allow them to train and test drivers in 31 languages other than our two official languages. When truck drivers, who do not read, write or speak English or French, and allow them to driver heavy trucks. They do not know the rules of the road, cannot read the operators manual for the truck they drive and cannot read the pre-trip instructions. This is the problem that Provinces from Ontario to B.C. allow this. Most Provinces allow at least 25 languages while Sask. allow 58. just how stupid is that.
Why was he not locked up at the time of the incident? Too many in Canada are not being locked up or they are given bail conditions that allow too much freedom. But, this justice system will criminally prosecute people who peacefully protest our government or who protest abortion clinics.
