A truck driver wanted in connection with a fatal crash on Montreal’s South Shore in 2022 has been extradited from the United States and is now in custody in Quebec.
Quebec provincial police confirmed that Baljeet Singh, 28-year-old, was arrested by U.S. Marshals on 21 August following several months of extradition proceedings and returned to Canada on Wednesday.
The crash occurred on 19 July 2022 at about 10:30 p.m. on Highway 30 in Brossard, near Grande-Allée Boulevard.
Police allege Singh failed to slow down as he approached a construction zone, colliding with seven vehicles.
The impact killed an 11-year-old boy and a 42-year-old woman, and left 10 others injured.
Singh appeared by video conference in a Longueuil courtroom on 11 September 2025 facing charges of dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm. His bail was denied, and he is scheduled to return to court on 15 October.
