A Pomona High School basketball coach and his wife were among the three victims killed in a chain-reaction crash involving multiple vehicles, including several semitrucks, earlier this week on the 10 Freeway in Ontario.
The school confirmed the couple died in the Tuesday afternoon collision but did not immediately release their names. The Pomona Unified School District did not immediately respond to ABC7’s request for more information about the two victims.
The identity of the third person killed in the pileup has also not been released. Four others were hospitalized.
“The hardest part is knowing that at least three of these individuals will not have a Christmas, will not make it home as we get into the holiday season,” said Officer Rodrigo Jimenez, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol.
On Thursday, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office filed charges against 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh, the semitruck driver accused of causing the eight-vehicle chain-reaction.
Singh was charged with three counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and one count of DUI causing injury. The drug allegedly involved was not specified by authorities.
He is expected to make his first court appearance at 1:30 p.m.
A law enforcement source confirmed to ABC7 that Singh is an Indian national who entered the U.S. illegally three years ago.
