Clarksville Driver Charged With Vehicular Homicide Following April Fatal Crash

A Clarksville driver is jailed this afternoon for vehicular homicide by reckless conduct after a Traffic Division investigation revealed he was traveling in a Nissan Altima at more than 100 miles per hour during the April 9th fatal crash on I-24 West with a tractor-trailer that killed his 42-year-old relative.

The semi was traveling westbound in the right lane when it moved to the left lane as it approached a broken-down vehicle pulled over on the right shoulder. As the semi merged back into the right lane, the speeding Altima, driven by Inderjit Singh, 30, struck the trailer tires, causing it to leave the roadway and roll over into the tree line.

Singh's passenger, Pritam "Peter" Singh, died at the scene.

Inderjit Singh and his 19-year-old rear seat passenger were transported to Skyline Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

Singh was charged with vehicular homicide as well as three counts of reckless endangerment and not having a driver's license. He remains jailed this afternoon on $58,000 bond.
