BRAZIL, Ind. — Local authorities have filed two civil infractions against a Canadian semitrailer driver for a 2017 crash that killed two children.
Amritpal Singh of Quebec, Canada, is accused of following too closely and driving too fast for the conditions and is scheduled for a June 10 court hearing.
Each charge carries a maximum penalty of $500, with no possibility of jail time.
Singh was traveling along Interstate 70 in July 2017 when his truck hit a van driven by Christina Bereda of O’Fallon, Illinois, in backed-up traffic. Her 1-year-old son, Brennen Bereda and 1-year-old daughter, Finley Bereda, were killed.
