An illegal alien from India faces vehicular homicide charges after a high-speed chase topped 100 miles per hour, resulting in a head-on collision that killed his pregnant passenger last month in Ohio.
Tarsem Singh, 33, of Union City, Ohio, was indicted on two counts each of vehicular homicide, involuntary manslaughter and reckless homicide charges in relation to the fiery Feb. 16 traffic fatality in Darke County, Ohio, near the Indiana-Ohio line.
He is accused of causing a high-speed chase and deadly crash that killed a 17-year-old passenger and her unborn child in his vehicle. Singh is currently being held on a $1 million bond.
A grand jury indicted also indicted Singh one count each of vehicular assault and failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer, according to Darke County Common Pleas Court records and the Dayton Daily News.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged an arrest detainer with Ohio authorities to take him into custody if he should be released.
Singh entered the country illegally in February 2017 through the southern border in California. He was arrested but later released by a judge on bond, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
“This is yet another tragic reminder of why illegal aliens should not be driving cars on America’s roads,” said DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “A 17-year-old woman and her unborn child are now dead as a result of this illegal alien’s reckless actions.”
Singh’s allegedly reckless driving led to the head-on collision. The Dayton Daily News reported the incident started around 8:15 p.m. on Feb. 16, when a Darke County sheriff’s deputy saw an SUV going 79 mph in a 55-mph zone on SR 47, the sheriff’s office said.
The deputy activated his emergency lights and sirens and tried to catch up to the SUV.
According to WDTN 2 News, Singh fled from Ohio police at 100 mph and led them on a 5-mile chase. At one point, speeds reached around 124 miles per hour.
Singh’s 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar reportedly crashed on a curve, colliding head-on with a Jeep Cherokee, driven by a 35-year-old from Union City, Indiana, which was heading east on SR 47.
The Range Rover Velar went off the left side of the road and flipped over. Singh’s passenger was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead on the scene. She was identified by officials as 17-year-old Ashlee Holmes, from Sidney, WDTN reported.
Singh was airlifted to a nearby hospital and later arrested. The driver of the Jeep was injured but alert, according to police. She was taken by medics to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Singh was taken to an area hospital for injuries and later arrested. The driver of the Jeep was reportedly injured, but conscious and alert.
The court ordered him to surrender his passport and not contact the victim’s family.
In a follow-up report, WDTN News reported he is also on an asylum case, meaning if convicted he could be deported.
Across the country, illegal immigrants continue taking the lives of innocent motorists on America’s roadways after driving under the influence, driving without a license, or attempting to flee from police or evade ICE.
The U.S. Department of Transportation also launched a nationwide campaign to crack down on non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses issued to illegal immigrants and those who cannot pass English proficiency tests.
Several illegal Indian truckers with the last name of Singh have been arrested and charged for traffic fatalities in Florida, California and Indiana.

In October 2025, Jashanpreet Singh, a 21-year-old Indian national illegal immigrant, was arrested after an eight-vehicle crash on I-10 in San Bernardino County, California.
In August 2025, Harjinder Singh, an Indian national illegally in the U.S., was arrested in Florida and accused of a deadly U-turn on the Florida Turnpike. The crash killed three people. He was arrested by U.S. Marshals in California after the incident.
In February 2026, Sukhdeep Singh, a 25-year-old Indian national, was arrested in Indiana after a fatal crash that killed a 64-year-old man. He allegedly ran a red light.
Last month, ICE arrested an Indian illegal alien, Sukhdev Singh, who was charged with causing a semi-truck crash that critically injured a pedestrian in Indianapolis.
Another high-profile case involved Bekzhan Beishekeev, a Kyrgyzstan national, who had a CDL issued by Pennsylvania. He was involved in a fatal crash in Jay County, Indiana, on Feb. 3, that killed four Amish men.
As a result, neighboring Indiana has become one of the first states to clearly ban commercial driver’s licenses for people who cannot show proof of lawful permanent residence or specific work visas.
A new state law took effect April 1, revoking “nearly all” non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses, KTVB 7 News reported. Nearly 2,000 immigrants lost their CDLs in Indiana under the new state law and federal guidance.
Now, only immigrants with one of three work visas (H-2A, H-2B or E-2) are eligible for it. The new law also requires drivers who receive their license in Indiana to pass an English-only driving test.
