A deadly crash, a divided nation: Why Sikh truckers are now in the crossfire

"There are a lot of negative comments online," said Prahb Singh, a truck driver in Riverside, California, who isn't related to the driver. None of the people named in this story are in the same family; Singh is a common last name among Sikhs. "People are saying: 'Take the towel heads off the streets' and 'Make our roads safe by taking immigrants off the street,'" said Singh, a U.S. citizen who emigrated from India at age 8. "All of this before a judge gives a sentence. It was a mistake by a driver, not the whole community."
