Brampton trucker remains on the run following deadly Manitoba crash

A Brampton trucker wanted on a Canada-wide warrant stemming from a collision that killed a mother and daughter in Manitoba, could be hiding out in Ontario.

The RCMP said recently they are following up on tips that Navjeet Singh, 25, was spotted back in the GTA.

Police are urging him to surrender to local authorities and answer the charges.

Singh has not been seen since he was released from hospital following the deadly crash that occurred Nov. 15 at a highway intersection near Altona, about 100 km south of Winnipeg.

Police allege that Singh was the driver of a tractor-trailer that went through a stop sign and collided with an SUV.

A 35-year-old woman, the driver of the SUV, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her 8-year-old daughter was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died.

Singh was not able to provide details when interviewed by police at the hospital and disappeared the following day.

He has been charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death and obstructing a peace officer.

Information about Singh’s whereabouts can be relayed to Pembina Valley RCMP at 204-822-5469 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
