Tragic Accident in Manitoba

In a tragic turn of events, the Manitoba Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have launched a nationwide manhunt for Navjeet Singh, a 25-year-old truck driver from Brampton, Ontario, linked to a devastating accident that claimed the lives of an eight-year-old girl and her mother.

Charges Faced by Singh

Singh is now facing serious charges, including two counts of dangerous driving leading to death and one charge of obstructing a peace officer. These allegations stem from a horrific incident on Friday evening near Altona, Manitoba, where a semi-truck failed to stop at an intersection, crashing into an SUV. The collision unfortunately resulted in the instantaneous death of 35-year-old Sara Unger, while her eight-year-old daughter, Alexa, succumbed to her injuries later at a hospital.

Community Grieves

Visibly grieving, friends and family are seeking justice for the pair, with a GoFundMe page established to support the Unger family during this tragic time. Authorities confirmed that Singh was treated for injuries sustained in the crash and was released from the hospital without being arrested, prompting initial concerns about the investigation's progress.

Investigation Update

According to Sgt. Paul Manaigre of the Manitoba RCMP, investigators had planned a meeting with Singh in Winnipeg post-release for him to provide a statement. However, he failed to appear, raising suspicions about his whereabouts and prompting the decision to issue a Canada-wide arrest warrant. “After his release, we grew concerned he might have left the city or even the province,” Manaigre explained.

Public Appeal for Information

As Singh remains elusive, police are appealing to the public for assistance. “We urge people not to rush to conclusions,” Manaigre added. “There is still more work to do on this case.”
