A truck driver wanted in Quebec for a crash south of Montreal in 2022 that killed a boy and his mother is in custody after he was arrested in the U.S. and returned to Canada.
Sûreté du Québec (SQ) say Baljeet Singh, 28, was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Aug. 21 after several months of extradition hearings, and returned to Canada on Wednesday.
The crash happened on July 19, 2022, on Highway 30 in Brossard, causing the deaths of an 11-year-old boy and his 42-year-old mother.
Police said at the time that the truck collided with a total of seven vehicles after it failed to slow down as it approached a construction zone.
Aside from the two people killed, 10 people were also injured.
Singh appeared today by video conference in a Longueuil courtroom and was charged with dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
The SQ continues to encourage the public to share any information that could assist in criminal investigations by contacting their Criminal Information Center confidentially at 1-800-659-4264.
