On August 21, 2025, at approximately 8:50 a.m., Navjeet Singh was arrested by Peel Regional Police and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Singh arrived in Canada on an Ethiopian Airlines flight, following a nine-month Canada-wide Warrant for his arrest.

The case dates back to November 15, 2024, when Pembina Valley RCMP responded to a deadly two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Provincial Road 201 and Provincial Road 306, west of Altona, Manitoba. An eastbound semi-truck failed to stop at the intersection and collided with a southbound SUV. The 35-year-old female driver of the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene, and her eight-year-old daughter later died in hospital.

On November 20, 2024, RCMP charged Singh, 25, of Brampton, Ontario, with two counts of Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle Causing Death and Obstructing a Peace Officer, issuing a Canada-wide Warrant for his arrest.

Navjeet Singh sustained minor injuries and was treated and released from the hospital. On November 20, 2024, the RCMP charged him with two counts of Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle Causing Death and one count of Obstructing a Peace Officer. Authorities attempted to locate Singh in Winnipeg without success, leading to the issuance of a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest. Investigators believed he may have been in Brampton.

Singh will be escorted back to Manitoba in the coming days and remanded into custody.

“This investigation was a combined effort and could not have been accomplished without the hard work of multiple policing organizations,” said Pembina Valley RCMP Corporal Jamie Sokolosky. “From CBSA to Peel Regional Police and Manitoba Motor Carrier Enforcement – their assistance was vital. This has been an extremely tough time for the family. We thank everyone who came together to ensure this apprehension was successful.”

The investigation remains ongoing.
