Truck driver faces civil infraction in crash that killed two kids

TERRE HAUTE — A semitrailer driver faces a civil infraction in connection with a 2017 crash that killed two children traveling in a van with their mother on Interstate 70 in Clay County.

Clay County Prosecutor Robert Pell Wednesday released a written statement that there was not enough evidence to charge Amritpal Singh of Quebec, Canada, with reckless homicide or reckless driving.

Singh’s truck was traveling 62 to 65 mph when it rear-ended the van that was slowing for a construction zone, about 60 miles.

Five-year-old Brennan Bereda and one-year-old Finley Bereda were killed. Their mother, Christina Bereda, and three-year-old Jordan Bereda were injured.

Pell filed a civil infraction for speed greater than reasonable under circumstances.

Singh faces a $500 fine as a result.
