MONTREAL – A truck driver wanted in Quebec for a crash south of Montreal in 2022 that killed a boy and a woman is in custody after he was arrested in the U.S. and returned to Canada.
Quebec provincial police say Baljeet Singh, 28, was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Aug. 21 after several months of extradition hearings, and returned to Canada on Wednesday.
The crash of July 19, 2022, occurred on Highway 30 in Brossard, Que., causing the deaths of an 11-year-old boy and a 42-year-old woman.
Police said at the time that the truck collided with a total of seven vehicles after it failed to slow down as it approached a construction zone.
Aside from the two people killed, ten people were also injured.
Police say Singh is to appear today by video conference in a Longueuil, Que., courtroom on charges that include dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 11, 2025.
