A truck driver from India who pled guilty to vehicular manslaughter in West Virginia is now being held by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to multiple reports from local media.
Sukhjinder Singh was arrested Monday and booked in the South Central Regional Jail, according to West Virginia-based WBOY TV. Singh had fled to California after a fatal accident on I-68 on Jan. 19, in which a car driven by Kevin C. Lataille was knocked into Cheat Lake, according to Connect Bridgeport.
Lataille’s body was recovered after his car was retrieved from the lake on Jan. 26 following a multi-day search when a missing person report was filed and phone data put Lataille’s last known location at Cheat Lake, Connect Bridgeport reported. Police interviewed Singh on Feb. 28 with the assistance of a translator.

Singh was charged with vehicular homicide in March, but had left West Virginia, WBOY reported. Police found that Singh was driving at a speed that was unsafe due to the conditions on the road and accused him of hitting another vehicle and failing to stop, according to Connect Bridgeport.
Singh was sentenced to one year in prison on Oct. 27 following his Oct. 20 guilty plea in Monongalia County Circuit Court, WDTV reported.
An illegal immigrant from India, Harjinder Singh, was arrested in California for three counts of vehicular homicide and extradited to Florida over an Aug. 12 crash that killed three people after Singh allegedly tried to make an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike when a Chrysler Town and Country minivan crashed into the tractor-trailer he was driving.
Harjinder Singh, who entered the United States via Mexico in 2018, failed an English proficiency exam given by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and could not identify three out of four road signs during an Aug. 14 assessment.
The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation that sought to clarify the immigration status of Sukhjinder Singh.
