Trucker charged with involuntary manslaughter in fatal Virginia crash
Posted on Feb 27, 2010
A truck driver accused of being “inattentive” has been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter after causing a series of crashes that took the lives of two brothers.
The large truck accident happened last summer on Interstate 81 near mile marker 296. According to police, the truck driver, Pawandeep Singh, 22, of Sacramento, drove his 2006 Peterbilt tractor-trailer into the back of a 2007 Honda. The force of the impact pushed the Honda underneath a 2005 Peterbilt truck, which then rear-ended a 1999 Volvo tractor-trailer, which in turn hit a 2005 Freighter truck.
At the time of the crash traffic was stopped on I-81 because of an earlier crash. Investigators determined that driver inattention was the cause of the crash, as Singh failed to notice that the vehicles ahead of him were slowing to stop. The investigation also revealed that Singh was traveling at such a high rate of speed that after hitting the Honda it continued to skid for a while.
After the crash Singh was allowed out of jail on $10,000 secured bond. At this time the plan is for him to remain at a home in Reston until the case goes to court. Singh is unable to leave the state of Virginia without the court’s permission.
The victims of the crash, Stone T. Weeks, 24 and his brother, William “Holt” Weeks, 20, died at the scene of the accident.
