, 5 news, a view

The White House has sounded the alarm over what it calls "serious gaps" in the system for issuing commercial driver’s licenses, following a deadly truck crash in California involving a driver accused of being in the U.S. illegally.

The crash, caused by 21-year-old Indian national Jashanpreet Singh, left three people dead and several others injured. Singh now faces multiple charges, including gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under the influence.

During a press briefing this week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Singh had obtained a California commercial driver’s license before the fatal accident. She revealed that the Department of Transportation (DOT) has launched a full review into how the license was approved.
