Three people were killed and several others were severely injured after the driver of a semi-truck plowed into vehicles on a freeway in Ontario, California, on Tuesday.
Eyewitnesses said the collision created a massive fireball after the driver failed to stop as traffic slowed down.
It has been more than 24 hours since the accident and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has not released the identity of the driver who caused the fiery crash.
The Gateway Pundit contacted the California Highway Patrol to obtain the driver’s identity.
This reporter reached out to CHP Officer Rodrigo Jimenez, inquiring about the identity of the truck driver who caused the deadly chain-reaction car accident on the 10 westbound freeway.
Officer Jimenez did not immediately respond to The Gateway Pundit’s email.
Dashcam video obtained by KABC shows the moment the big rig driver plowed into three vehicles before smashing into another semi-truck.
A total of 8 vehicles, including four big rig trucks, were involved in the deadly crash.
An eyewitness said the driver of the semi-truck was driving at a high rate of speed when he slammed into the vehicles.
The driver, only identified as a 21-year-old man from Yuba City, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs. Other charges are pending.
WATCH:
Tuesday’s horrific accident comes as California is under fire for giving Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDL) to illegal aliens.
Investigators found that one in four commercial driver’s licenses issued in California were improperly issued to non US citizens, including illegal aliens. Illegal aliens who failed reading tests were issued CDLs.
Over the summer, an illegal alien named Harjinder Singh killed three people on a Florida highway.
The Punjabi driver who obtained his truck driving license (CDL) in the Democrat-run sanctuary state of California – and Washington state – made an insane U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike near Fort Pierce in August and caused a deadly crash.
The horrifying video shows Singh completely unbothered and unfazed after a minivan collided with his truck as he made an illegal U-turn.
“The failures here are despicable. Non-enforcement and radical immigration policies have turned the trucking industry into a lawless frontier, resulting in unqualified foreign drivers improperly acquiring licenses to operate 40-ton vehicles,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said over the summer.
