Gendarmerie issues cross-Canada arrest warrant for semiconductor accused in fatal accident

Manitoba RCMP have issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for the semi driver involved in a collision that killed an eight-year-old girl and her mother.

On Thursday, police identified the driver involved in the fatal crash as Navjeet Singh, 25, of Brampton, Ontario. Singh was charged with two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, as well as obstructing a peace officer.

The accusations have not been tested in court.

They are linked to last Friday’s fatal crash, which occurred about 13 kilometers west of Altona, Manitoba. Investigators say the driver of the tractor-trailer failed to stop at an intersection and collided with an SUV. The 35-year-old woman who was driving the SUV with her eight-year-old daughter died in the crash.

At the time, police said the tractor-trailer driver was taken to the hospital, treated for his injuries and then released.

But on Thursday, RCMP said officers were unable to find Singh.

“Officers attempted to locate Mr. Singh in Winnipeg without success and, as a result, a Canada-wide arrest warrant was issued,” an RCMP statement said.

Anyone with information is asked to call local police or Pembina Valley RCMP at 204-822-5469. People can also report it to Crime Stoppers.
