The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office has announced that a 21-year-old semi-truck driver accused of causing a deadly eight-vehicle crash in Ontario is no longer facing charges of driving under the influence (DUI).

Jashanpreet Singh of Yuba City was initially arrested on October 21 on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and vehicular manslaughter. However, officials later confirmed that toxicology reports showed that none of the substances tested in his blood were found to be positive.

In a statement, the DA’s office said they have filed an amended complaint to reflect the new findings, but Singh still faces charges of “vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence”.
