"DUBLIN - A misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter case is likely to be put on hold indefinitely after the defendant was reportedly deported to India, according to court records. Palvindra Singh, 51, of Bremerton, Wash., was facing a misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter count alleging he caused the April 27, 2023 death of Juan Chan Saltay by speeding, leading to a five-car crash on Interstate 680 in Pleasanton. Singh was charged last year and was out of custody, hoping to complete a diversion program in lieu of criminal prosecution, court records show."
"Singh's deportation was made public when he didn't make a Sept. 11 court appearance, records show. An Alameda County judge asked for paperwork proof that Singh was deported, and lawyers are expected to reconvene for this at the end of October. Singh was working as a truck driver at the time of the crash. Authorities say Singh was speeding in a Freightliner truck and was at-fault in the five-car collision."
Palvindra Singh, 51, of Bremerton, Wash., faces a misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charge alleging he caused the April 27, 2023 death of Juan Chan Saltay by speeding and triggering a five-car crash on Interstate 680 in Pleasanton. Singh had been charged last year and was out of custody while attempting a diversion program instead of prosecution. Singh reportedly was deported to India and missed a Sept. 11 court appearance, prompting an Alameda County judge to request deportation paperwork and schedule lawyers to reconvene in late October. Defense filings claim Singh swerved to avoid unexpected vehicle movements and that Saltay had a lung condition contributing to his death.
